List some phrases you absolutely abhor..

Alright, sometimes there are commonly used phrases that I feel shouldn't be so common either because they're a lame cliche or because they make no sense.

1. "let's shift gears" - Wait, so we're slowing down or speeding up? Are we going to go in reverse now? Yet the way people use this term, they're implying to go a different course, a new direction. What people are saying and what they mean are very different in this case.
2. That said - Not only is it bad english, but it nullifies what you just said.
3. Basically - I hate this because it's just bad english, and when it's used repeatedly, it becomes grating on nerves.


I'm sure there are more but I just can't think of them right now. So to spare myself of waiting hours before posting this thread, why not post some of your own that bother you!
 
"I could care less."

It's 'I COULDN'T care less' you fucking idiots!!



Actually, it is a very good way to quickly judge someone’s intelligence. Whenever I see someone write 'I could care less' I immediately know to disregard anything that person has to say.
 
"over yonder"

This one only pisses me off when the person saying it gives no indication of direction or location. I often wonder where this magical place called "yonder" is that seems to contain everything I ask certain people for.
