Phrases we can do without...

...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.

"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]

"At the end of the day".

Most overused phrase of the last 3 years.
