Here are some of mine. Annoying and often used as a lazy excuse for substantive thought. * at the end of the day * with all due respect * game changer * set the table * let's unpack this * at the granular level. * low hanging fruit * in the weeds * in my tool box * I know, right? * now that's funny right there (I really hate this one) * in my wheelhouse * I get it * on the ground * it'll buff right out (seems esp used on SF) What are some of yours? _______________________________________ NRA Life Member Member Isaac Walton League I wouldn't let anyone do to me what I've done to myself | ||

So, .... Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

That one annoys me. Also: Reach out You also list: I get it I admit I use that one. When someone starts to repeat themselves or tell me the same thing they know I've already heard... I get it!

It's not rocket science. We're not curing cancer here. Let's move the goalposts. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

I know someone who could string phrases like this for several minutes several times inside a meeting. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
