Don't Repeat After Me v2

Eeeewww...

-Let's DO this!
Predominantly a dude phrase, it needs to be extinguished.

-Low-hanging fruit
A corporate idiom that sounds vulgar and makes me cringe whenever i hear it. For example, "Let's go for the low-hanging fruit first and revisit the other issues later." That just kills me.

-Perch, Dwell, Cohabitate, Stumble, Frolic, Summer, Nest, Gravitate, Canoodle, Percolate
All of these verbs, when referring to humans in action. It's nails on the chalkboard to me and i'm really not sure why?

-Omelette Station
Seen in buffet restaurants, usually written in neon lights. Not sure what is worse, seeing/hearing these words together or the aforementioned lights.

-Good luck with that!
Usually in response to impossible situations. It's so dismissive, though it cracks me up to hear it.

-Up the Ante
Also sounds vulgar.

-Want to grab some lunch? OR Want to grab a bite to eat?
As annoying and in the same category as: "That's what I'm talking about" and "Good to go."

OK, there, now i feel better.
