    My bad.

    I can’t stand it when someone says it. No one can say I’m sorry anymore!!
    It is certainly overused, but I like the way it’s a modern version of mea culpa.

    Now I’m laughing at how language excites me. 😁

    "Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps"

    I get that some people need tough love but I find it insensitive a lot of the time that it's used. 🤷‍♀️

    When someone calls a water heater a "hot" water heater. If the water is already hot, it doesn't need to be heated. lol

    This is just stupid. There are countless examples to illustrate why this is stupid. I can picture this phrase superimposed over a picture of a single tree at sunset... Sooooo deep. :|

    "Keep calm and carry on"

    - the most cringe quote there is

    I think it was kind of charming in a vintage, quirky way, right up until 8-10 years ago when it was put on everything and changed into a million stupid variations like "Keep Calm and Wine On" or whatever...

    I’m not sure if this is a saying but I heard someone say “swirly whirly” this morning, and it made me think disgusting things.
