Quotes You've Come to Detest

Not a "quote" but an expression they say during the Olympics repeatedly. I hate it when the commentators say "in these Olympic games." It grates on me hearing that statement over and over and over. I mean, I know which Olympic games they're talking about. If they talk about something that happened in a previous year it's clear. And it's not like they're talking about the Olympic games being held that year on some other planet. Sometimes I picture myself asking them in response to that statement, "Wait, which Olympic games? These here Olympic games, right here?"

A silly thing to be irritated by, but that's my pet peeve about overused expressions.

Great, now that's going to annoy me throughout the Olympics. Thanks!

Yeah, or they give some ridiculous statistic that is meaningless. "If they win, this will be the first time in history that a team wearing white jerseys has ever beaten teams wearing blue jerseys in Sunday afternoon games 2 weeks in a row during an odd numbered year!"

Another vote for Asshat-I just love saying this, I learned it here. As for "it is what it is", sometimes it really is what it is. As far as K-Fed is concerned, that was probably his most intelligent quote. You can't go back in time and put a baby in a carseat when the paps have it on tape.

"Just giving you a heads up"-my sister whom I love more than anyone is an HR manager and she uses this constantly. She even tells my nephew, "We're leaving in five minutes, just giving you a heads up". Again, I love her to death, but she doesnt' dance when no one is watching. I call her and her husband "The Pottery Barn Couple". I just say to myself, it is what it is.

Is it pronounced Ass-hat or Ass-shat?

When someone says "Our parents [or grandparents] survived measles/polio/riding bikes without helmets/sleeping on their stomachs/whatever" so it must not be so terrible.

Well, the ones who didn't survive, they wouldn't be your parents or grandparents, now would they???

It's pronounced A-shah. The T is silent.

22:27- Yes. It's using the Lord's name in vain. People who say this don't think or care about what they're saying.
A 5 year old boy told me ages ago, "you say the name of God with love."
I never forgot that.
