[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many cutesy phrases that people use and abuse as far as I am concerned-

I am youngish 42 and moms in my circle are from between mid 30's to 50. These are things I hear them say often

if they are complimenting you say on your hair, they will say "you have hair for days" or if they are saying you have nice taste " X, you have taste for days" hate this

At the end of the day (possibly most abused of them all)

It is what is - no shit sherlock

when they are referring to a state of mind, lets say someone is in the mood for a margarita she will say "i am having a margarita moment" or wants to go and buy new cloths " i need to have a wardrobe moment"

i mean seriously? maybe for a 16 year old girl to say these but its like hey are picking up every contrived line there is and using and abusing it....hopefully I am not alone in being irked by these?

I am going to agree. My own sister (44) says a lot of this. My own husband started saying "at the end of the day" way too often and people (close friends and family) started mentioning it and joking about it to him. Eventually I think he came self conscious about it and uses it far less (thankfully)!
I think this catchy little phrases are some women's way to trying to be relevant/current/with the times. Harmless, yes. Annoying? Absolutely![/quote]
