Just had to get that out there.

No, this is not my biggest problem today or in life.
Yes, I could be spending my time thinking about more important/productive things.
I have a life, so I don't need to get one.

I agree and add some others:

We're pregnant
I feel "badly," do you ever feel sadly?
"raising" my kids, children are reared

I AM a teacher, and I don't even use scholars when addressing my high school students.

And if you and your "angels" had such a love fest, why are you no longer in the profession?????

Ew. I teach K and, while I'm sure I love my kids as much as you loved yours, I don't call them any of those things. I just call them "friends." And yes, there's no doubt that they're crazy about me.

I hate all of what's been mentioned by PPs, especially "threw up in my mouth." That phrase jumped the shark years ago. I also can't stand when people say, for example, that they don't "do" things. As in, "We don't do dairy," "We don't do Safeway," "We don't do DC on the weekends." Use the right verb for your sentence, please.

Also, when people on cooking shows refer to food as "guys." -- "Let's flip these guys over," "Let's get these guys out of the oven." So annoying.

The phrase "jumped the shark" has jumped the shark.
