Oh another one that drives me nuts, especially on Internet forums, is the poster who implores everyone else to "Wake up." Another version is "Wake up, America!"
Mightyqueen-I've been thinking about this, and I've decided your post is rude as hell! I posted a thread in the POC that was not addressed or referring to anyone specific, but reflects truthfully things I believe. And, no matter what forum I'm on; I try to be humorous. Your post is an attack specifically on me!!! What gives lady??? You seem to be one of very few people around here that has a problem with me.
I may have mentioned these in another thread, but they both could use another turn at the gratings:
"Tastes like chicken." The minute someone blurts this to describe any type of food, he or she loses 20 IQ points in my eyes.
"Smells like money" in reference to some atrocious stench. The only way money smells like a feedlot full of steer wastes is if you dip your banknotes into the effluvia. I'd rather dip the speaker into it.
"It's a business decision." Why not just say: "We're going to screw someone"? That's what it usually means.
"In order to better serve you..." 'we are increasing prices, cutting staff, cutting services and enacting policies that are to your disadvantage.' Good lord. Hate to see what happens when it's "in order to serve you worse..."
All nonsensical rhyming slang. The next time Judge Judy say "I'm the boss, applesauce," someone needs to dump a bucket of cow guts (kosher, of course) on her head.
These may not be cliches in the strict sense, but I still hate them all day long and late into the night.
I watch Judge Judy everyday and I have never heard her say "I'm the boss, applesauce" now she does say "they don't keep me here because I'm beautiful they keep me here because I'm smart". I'd go nuts if she ever said applesauce

I hate when women refer to their husband as their "hubby" eeewwww....that's preppy in my book...why can't they say my rock or my power-drill or something more manly?

Dear Laura and RazorRob, It is because we are husbands, not power tools. As a married man I rather enjoy being referred to as "hubby", simply because I love my wife and I am proud to be her husband. Or should I refer to her as "my dishwasher"?

Mightyqueen-I've been thinking about this, and I've decided your post is rude as hell! I posted a thread in the POC that was not addressed or referring to anyone specific, but reflects truthfully things I believe. And, no matter what forum I'm on; I try to be humorous. Your post is an attack specifically on me!!! What gives lady??? You seem to be one of very few people around here that has a problem with me.
!!!
Are you serious, Saucy? I hope not. If you posted something like that on POC, I wasn't aware of it. I was thinking primarily of someone who posted that all the time on another forum altogether, but I do find it annoying anywhere.
Why in the world do you think I would have a problem with you?????? I am completely boggled that you took this as a personal affront and think I meant it rudely and even weirder, that it was directed at YOU.
Oh another one that drives me nuts, especially on Internet forums, is the poster who implores everyone else to "Wake up." Another version is "Wake up, America!"
I see that and I tend to just skip over the post.

Now I have to go look for that post in POC.
OK, found the thread. I still don't see why you took my original post personally, though. It's not as though my post was directed at one person or something.
I am also bothered by your statement that I've bolded and underlined above. I have often responded to your posts and have given you many well-deserved rep points. Why would you think I have a problem with you? Still
This thread is about cliches. The one you used happens to be one I don't like.
