'All the further' I hear in Florida from teenagers who work in live entertainment from all over the country and sometimes the world. Perhaps they're just being teenagers and trying to be edgy, but several of them use it (along with a handful of brain-stopping phrases that I can't remember right now.)

Weird. I've never heard them, but as a member of the old guard, I heartily agree, they need to go!

Probably been covered on these pages but i just heard a sentence i never thought any scriptwriter would have the front to re-use yet again.

Kelsey grammar in Guardians of the Tomb (2018!!)
"Its need to know...and you dont need to know."

"The Mandella effect". Not a phrase but an expression that has to be discontinued immediately. Let 2018 be the last year that self absorbed internetworld has put this nonsense upon us. A phenomenon that has been around as long as the human race's memory and its capacity to mix things up.
Now all of a sudden it has a name and it's being presented by mostly, if not only, millenials as if they have discovered it.

There should be an expression for when the youth presents established things that have either gotten out of fashion or out of sight as something they have discovered or, worse yet, supposedly developed themselves. Maybe "The youth delusional effect" but then again that can cover so many stupidities that phase of humanity commits (it really is the most stupid stage of of our race).

Hey internet-hermits: get your self important heads outside your self important asses and discover the outside world and................ HISTORY.

"A thief is one who insists on sharing his victimhood."

That one is as nonsensical as it is pretentious.

It's like when Millennials have just heard about some decades-old crime, usually involving some celebrity, and flood Twitter and Facebook with "outrage" about shit that was old news when their PARENTS were their age. roll eyes Like calling out Quentin Tarantino for the "distasteful" usage of the Charles Manson murders in his upcoming film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood...murders which occurred FIVE DECADES AGO.

This phrase from the 90s that I hated so much did eventually "just go away" I'm glad to say:

movers and shakers

Ugh. Why did it have to come back to me now?

Reviews that describe British films as " boys own adventures".

This is 2019 dammitt!

  • arguably and the use of the word (question) anyone?.

    Hillary was arguably the weakest candidate in the field. Bosnian gunfire, anyone?


    A decade later, and this still incenses me. Also...

    "said no one."

    ... has been said by everyone now.

  • Anglo Saxons using "Ueber" in the sense of "the most possible". Most of all the mispronunciation "oober" is annoying.

    D.S.


    Uber is uttered only by gubers.

    A politician who recently announced for President used the " above my pay grade" trope.

    "Fun fact: _____"

    It's one of those phrases that was fresh and snappy when it was first used. Now it has become annoying.

    The use of "ain't" by otherwise educated people. It's especially annoying when it's used for emphasis. I hate this even more than "That's all well and good."

    For example: [Harvard graduate] "Socialized medicine in the USA? Yeah, well that ain't gonna happen!"
