How about "just saying" at the end of a sentence?
Future ex also does that quite often.
I know you're "just saying" because you just said it. And if it's in a text message it's even worse.

When I lived in the South, I was never able to determine exactly how far 'Over Yonder' was.  It means the other side of what you can see. Plain as day. |

And I still can’t!!! Remember......how y’all doing.....and it was only me at the register checking out last week. I actually looked behind me to check who else was near.....‘twas just me! Before moving down south (11 years ago), I was warned about the use of y'all. My native southern friend rightly suggested that y'all is a compound word representing 'you all', and should not be used when speaking to one person. So, use it correctly, y'all. K |

Not phrases, but overuse of certain words bugs me. I can't stand it when football players and coaches overuse the word "execute", i.e., "We failed to execute ...", "We really executed ...", "Blah, blah, execute, blah, blah ...". I also cringe at the overuse of the word "awesome": How are you? Awesome!; How was your lunch? Awesome!; etc. We have a place in Huntsville TX that really executes. Kind of a 4 story roach motel. |

just sayin' is a pipe forum tradition and its use usually implies good will.

This thread leads to another thread, but wth, I just leave it here.
Business Jargon Band Names.
1. Pluck the Low Hanging Fruit.
This is an alternative rock band kind of like R.E.M. only not as smart.
2. Follow on Conversation.
A male female duo, playing a lot of songs that seem to be Cowboy Junkies rip offs. After listening for an hour or so you are ready to end it all.
3. Deeper Dive.
Hard rock band playing 70's classic type music badly.
4. At the End of the Day.
An Americana/Alt Country Band that wishes it was Counting Crows.
And two bonus Bands
Irregardless.
A Pop Country band. Need I say more?
Suposably
A Singer/Songwriter duo that can't harmonize and forgets lyrics. It often opens for At the End of the Day. (Usually booed off the stage)

"Literally"
I have classes full of 20 somethings and they all use "literally" incorrectly and it drives me bonkers.
"Like, I'm sorry professor, but I literally died yesterday, so I need to make up my test."
"Read the syllabus....no make-ups, especially since you are apparently dead and I am talking to your ghost now."

I laugh at the political media class when one of them coin a phrase that is seldom if ever said, and they all are using it in unison the next day and into the weeks.
In the past:
“He has gravitas”
“The optics” of a situation.
“At the end of the day”
And when a person puts an audio collage of them all repeating the same lines it really exposes many of them for the dolts that they are....

I'm not sure if I love it or hate it... IT IS funny, though. A good friend of mine, and former NY Yankee, who died of cancer a few years back (I won't say who), always said that people he didn't like need a "check up from the neck up". I can still hear his voice saying this today!  |

Four more phrases/words that’s used in this home....but not by me.... “ Obviously “ “ Seriously “ “ How’s about that “ “ it is what it is “ The above four are used often on a daily basis and it’s getting to the point it irk’s me! I was going to say, probably my most hated phrase is, "It is, what it is." And this is not because it's overused, it's because it's an incorrect statement. It is what we make it. Things don't become the way they are at random or through chance. Someones' actions are always responsible for things becoming the way they are. I feel the phrase is saying that it was just pure chance that caused things to become the way they are. Take responsibility for your actions people. Ok, I may have alienated a few people with this "rant", but "it is what it is".    |

"Basically." This is (or was) constant with some young people on the UK, often followed by "yeah." "Basically, yeah, I'm like basically really unable to like basically speak properly, yeah?" And another one - "politically correct." Whatever side of the fence you're on, this term has become totally meaningless through overuse. People apply it to everything, from it being unacceptable to call someone a racial slur to, uh, not be able to smoke in elevators. EDIT Legend Lover - I may have missed it, but what's your PhD in? you still get 'basically' a lot over here. Drives me nuts. That reminds me of a joke... When I was in Dublin I saw a man walking down the street with a steering wheel up his arse. I went over to him and asked him if he was aware that he had a steering wheel up his arse. He said, 'yea, it's driving me nuts.' @chico, my PhD is in xray crystallography (chemistry). |

Have to change phrase to excuses for this post. This has happened twice in the last few weeks. Someone flamed someone I knew online, but got the word spelled wrong. While everyone poked fun at him he said that it was auto-correct changed the spelling from B**** to Citch. No one caught it, and I typed back: Lame excuse autocorrect only uses actual words to replace your misspell with. Just remember, pardner's, it's a mean world out there

In the past: “He has gravitas” How would you describe such a person using the same number of words, or less?“The optics” of a situation.
Again, a phrase that gets the message across as well or better.“At the end of the day” We all know what it means. This is communication.And when a person puts an audio collage of them all repeating the same lines it really exposes many of them for the dolts that they are.... Not arguing with you, Jus' Say'n |

People say, 'basically' but don't break what they're saying down into a more basic form. |
