The use of the phrase "Right now" - when people just mean...now.

And what about "passing away"? Remember the good old days when people just "died"?


Pass away, meaning depart, has been used in the sense 'die' since about 1375; Lay Folks Mass Book (MS. B) 112: “God lord graunt .. rest and pese Þat lastis ay to christen soules passed away.”

A banker we work with wrote that she would "diarise" a meeting. That's my latest example.

People saying hashtag and then whatever they're talking about!
Stop it...or get slapped.

Not really a phrase but I hate, "My boyfriend", when ever speaking to a lady. Your having a nice conversation with a women and they always slip that in. A lot of times late in the discussion too.

What do you prefer? "Fuck-buddy"?

That's interesting. In good ol' 1375 "passed away" had a spiritual context, but I take its contemporary usage, at least in our glorious media, to be used to "soften" the cold, hard reality of death...er, having passed away.

"He's passed away, Jim."

"Passed away" is fine but just "passed" not so.

"Help me get into..."
Utter tosh. Mock helplessness.

Yeah, back in the day...when theyr talking about 1998!

The first time I--an uncool film score nerd--first heard that phrase was in this "hip hop" track circa early-mid 1990s.



Younger (and no doubt hipper) FSMers may know of other, earlier references.

"No, thank you."

"Yes, please."

Oh, wait--those *have* gone away. frown

"So you're saying..." followed by a willful misinterpretation of what was actually said.

I'm talking about you, Cathy Newman.

Aw c'mon you guys. You're targeting literally absolutely all the expressions in use in the English language, which makes some of us afraid of posting ANYTHING, because it's like SO hard to avoid them. Got that? It ain't rocket science. Just sayin'. Nuff said. Ordered, LOL!

This thread needs to go away. It's making me nervous.
