Not a phrase, but I hate the word "whilst." I don't know why. But I hate it so much.

"let's unpack this"

[pixiedust2]

Honestly, "unpack this" must be the phrase of the week. I keep seeing it everywhere and it's killing me. 

[wheeeee]

hahahah! I hate certain phrases, too! 'First world problem' annoys me to no end.

 I mean....a problem is a problem no matter geography.

OMG these are too awful!!! thanks for all your contributions guys!!! i will add them to the list!!!

I went to see Jerry Seinfeld last night in Toronto and it was the absolute best. He touched on some of these phrases, the ones that have the same word twice in them, and how they are so stupid. It was hilarious.

Business is business

It is what it is 

What's what

@angel7594  That always makes me think of Game of Thrones... "Power is power" lol.

@Tamara76April can't come quick enough.  I cannot wait to see how Cersie reacts to Daenerys 🙂

@angel7594 I always think of this picture whenever someone mentions "knowledge is power" 😄

[wheeeee]

Knowledge is 'Wikipedia!'

These kids today will NEVER know the joy of having an entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica sitting on their book shelf!  

That was my childhood even if I just enjoyed looking at the pictures! lol!

[angel7594]

LOL That is fantastic @prti!! 😄

Where I work, tons of people parrot/copy  any catchphrase that they hear executives use.

The current "catch phrase of the month" is "no kidding."  Everything is the "no kidding last option" or "no kidding right thing to do" or "no kidding best solution,"  etc....   It is super-annoying and I don't think anyone realizes how silly a room of grown adults parroting each other looks.  

A coworker and I have started a bingo game of sorts to tally the use of various catchphrases in meetings... 🙂

[angel7594]

Welp. I am guilty of saying about half of the things on this list! 😄

@angel7594 - you probably don't say it 8 million times in a meeting/converstion though. So you're cool 🙂
