...the talk radio staple "slippery slope", and all it's variants: "it's a slippery slope", "we're heading down a slippery slope", etc.

I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't hear this phrase used.

I thought I was the only one that hated that. I really hate cliche language in general. We had someone who used to post here and used that phrase. I don't think he knew what he was doing. Must've been on drugs or something.

"Back in the day"....I hate that one.

"Ya know what I'm sayin"?....I can do without this one also. I work with a woman who says this after every sentence, ya know what I'm sayin'? YES, I F*****G KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING!

"If your gonna dance you have to pay the fiddler". Something my dad would say after a night of partying. You don't want to hear that when your head is pounding.[:p]

If I were another type of buffoon I might reply by typing "WORD" just like that, in all caps. Anyway....."what're you gonna do?"
