Words and phrases I care not to hear evermore:
-"Rag tag team of delinquents"
formulaic, recycled, and very tired film plots
-"Rocker Hubby"
nails on a chalkboard, say it aloud, eewww!
-"Yeah baby...that's what I'm talking about!"
awful on their own, and when put together, just horrid
-the annoying overuse of the word "actually," see sample restaurant dialogue below:
"Can I take your order?"
"Actually, I'll have a salad."
"What kind of dressing with that?"
"Hmm, what do you have?"
"Italian, Bleu Cheese, Basalmic Vinagrette..."
"Can I actually just get oil and vinegar?"
-"chick flick" and/or "chick rock"
egregious--the mainstream perception of gender specific music genres and film types.
-"rideshare"
the word, not the concept
-"Peace out!"
i'm sorry, but this has got to go!
-"It's a two-fer!"
yikes, i can't even look at that
Any other gems I've forgotten? (Kelly you'll have to remind me of others I've ranted about...)
Note to self: Always play "Come Dancing" by the Kinks when in this kind of mood--guarantee mood lift and involuntary sing along :)

"that's really an ongoing conversation"
"let's dialogue about that"
"why don't we put that in the parking lot"
"let's dialogue about our collective journaling efforts, in an ongoing discussion conversation called 'the world is my oyster!' Yeah? That's what I'm talking about!"
someone shoot me now.
engineer speak at work:
"that would give ammunition to the theory..."
"i need to download a coffee"
"let's go ahead and populate that database"
"where does your file reside?"
"It wasn't really spec'd that way..."
"Literally." Can we just punish people who use this one incorrectly?
I mean, I literally want to punch people in the face when I hear this.
