I am tired of the phrase "not so much"
I am so tired of the media's use of the phrase "not so much," as in "Fox's new show did well, but ABC's, not so much." This is right up there with "how cool is that." What is the origin of this phrase, is it from a movie or something? Why does the media have to take these little buzzwords (like "bling") and catchphrases and run them into the ground?! Just a pet peave!  |

Using the same old lame words to describe a 'feeling or emotion'...."Oh its so awesome to see you again! Yeah, right! "Hey this orange julius was absolutely INSANE."
WTF is that supposed to mean? how could juice be insane? And the Grand Canyon is something that is compared to being AWESOME, not seeing your girlfriend at the grocery store, its NOT an 'awesome experience'.
For-shizzle, Bling, you are so cool....NOT (thats a few more). |

Ah, you have to add to this list "It is what it is......" A couple of months ago this was THE phrase of choice on tv.

The "catch phrase" that REALLY bugs me is "At the end of the day......" Almost every interview, speech, whatever includes this nonsense!
