😆 Phrase/Idiom that irritates you 😆

[Excalibur]

When something bad happens and someone pulls out the
"Everything happens for a reason"

Or pretty much any phrase that belittles something bad happening to you. Hush ur mouth. Shut it. Upwards.

but youre dankruse its used as a cool korbat name!

my department at work has a thing about using the phrase "circle the wagons" as often as they can possibly jam it into conversation. It didn't use to bother me because it makes me think of Oregon Trail which is great, but now it bothers me very much because we're never doing anything as fun as Oregon Trail when it gets said

I try not to scoff at generational slang (we used to say "duh" all the time, who are we to judge) but "cap" "no cap" and "riz" really annoy me

on idioms that I appreciate, my dad uses the phrase "never get into a stink fight with a skunk" which is real east Texas backwoods and I love it

I thought "gonna be a now from me, dawg" was just a viral screencap from Broad City, was it a reference to something bigger from Hannibal Burress's (sp?) work?

Randy Jackson from American Idol used to say this. That's where it came from.

i hope i dont come off as that guy but just a gentle note that a lot of whats considered 'gen z slang' is actually misused aave.
but to keep on track "duh" will always be more rude than saying "no shit" and im not even sure why

I'm not sure if this counts, but "chip off the old block" after I do something that apparently resembles something like how my parents are?
Like nah I'm an individual person, please don't refer to me as I'm just like them

Omg I missed so many posts on this thread.

This has been answered already but yes when Randy is rejecting someone on American idle he would say this... iconic x)

YES that one and "curiosity killed the cat" but forget the rest. It's "curiosity killed the cat, but the satisfaction brought it back"


I think its fun when people use malaphors which is mixing two idioms together

"We'll cross that bridge when we lead the horse to it"

Not sure if you knew this, but its a poem by Edna Clyne-Rekhy

I'd never heard the rest of that saying x)
It makes more sense and ties into they have 9 lives x)

i say this SO much. And also "Such is life" HAHAHA

Edit: Don't know why the quote disappeared. It was " It is what it is "
