    “Must be nice!” Thank you for stealing my moment and making me feel guilty for mentioning it in the first place.

    "I've made a complete 360°"
    So....you are in the exact same place you started? One would think, if one truly desired change, a 180° might be more beneficial.

    Also...usta, hafta, kinda, sorta...
    I gotta disagree with you here. Ima use these colloquialisms because they’re expressive and sweet.

    "You must vote, people died so you could vote." People will die if you continue to tell me what I MUST do and with the greatest respect, just because people died doesn't mean I have an obligation to vote or do anything else that people died pursuing.

    "After everything I've done for you".....and here was me thinking that you did it because you wanted to not because you were keeping score or hoping I'd do something for you.

    "If you loved me you would".....

    "A real man...." often said by women who it turns out haven't been men before. I know because I asked them. I mean I assumed that is why they knew what a real man does or doesn't do.

    "I have to"....no such thing, you are making a choice.

    I would do anything for love... but I won't do that.

    Great song.

    And food (meatloaf)....mmmmmm

    I actually hate meatloaf. It's a meat cake.

    this is why I love meatloaf. My favorite recipe for it has brown sugar making it just a little bit like ground beef and brownies all in one greasy delicious 9X9 baking dish...mmm :D

    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.
