"That's not the way it works" is one that gets me going. First, it is usually uttered by somebody defending a poor position just after I've called out the mess. Second, do I look like a 5-year old having trouble with his Legos?
I gifted you a like!
Anybody got 2 Advil?............After reading all this.
It drives me nuts hearing the term gun violence on the news.
Sometimes I wonder if Cronkite,or Brokaw would have allowed that back in the day.

Observation:
There were a number of olympic athletes who said in post win interviews that they'd already won the event in their minds. One even said that it played out exactly how she imagined it.
Isn't manifesting the same thing as praying for something to happen? If not, why not?
"Common sense" as frequently used in the demand for some law to stop "gun violence".
So, would "overboarding" be the KG Term for firing somebody?
or
is describing someone deserting the floundering ship before the rest of the cast members, stakeholders or Team Members find out?.
Just thinking out side the box.
Andy Rooney would.
Ads a 15 year moderator here, I can't tell you how many times I've heard; "I know it was against the rules, but...".

"XX item was provided by the lowest bidder" (cute phrase) while forgetting that the item met the standard of quality and performance established by the purchaser.
I guess those same folks would be OK with paying 500K for a house when another reputable contractors bid would meet their specs for 400K.

"You need to ___________"
When my wife suggests I do her bidding. Just fill in the blank.
Hate that phrase!

Having had twelve years of Catholic schooling, and being in a job where I write reports for a living (among other things), I am a stickler for correct English usage. This modern fad of using "they" or "them" as singular pronouns is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me...

What happened to the verb "to be" as in that _____ needs to be repaired or fixed?
I hear too many youtubers saying that "needs fixed" or that "needs repaired". "Needs repair" is ok but not "needs repaired" or "needs fixed". Even "needs fixing" is slightly better.
