Members quartermainefan Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I am tired of "at the end of the day". "At the end of the day it is what it is"....why not just say "it is what it is" or even "when all is said and done"? Also, "ironically" constantly being used mistakenly when people mean "coincidentally". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sundance Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I don't care for the expression, "Heads up!" When playing tennis or something else. I'm going to look up and get the ball in the face? I also don't like the expression, "Break a leg!" to someone about to go on stage. It doesn't sound like good luck to me.

Members SFK Posted March 16, 2014 Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ha, exactly, we say that because it's a theatre superstition that if you wish an actor, "Good luck!" before a show it will result in the opposite, so to wish them bad luck, i.e., breaking a leg, means have a great show. I was also going to say, "At the end of the day..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members applcin Posted March 16, 2014 Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 My boss has a habit of overusing and misusing the phrase "in my mind's eye." Makes me picture the alien from the Twilight Zone episode with the third eye on the forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
