Re: Overused phrases

[ Edited ]

I don't like phrases that used to mean something bad, and now means something really good. For example:

 

That's sick !

That's ridiculous !

You murdered it !

I continue to hate awesome most ....SB hosted one night and at 10 I stopped counting....very few things inspire awe for me, particularly a piece of clothing or makeup

Permission to play.

Boots on the ground.

Thats sick

You can't go wrong

Pop of color

 

I don't need anyone to tell me I have permission to play, I can figure that out all by myself. They are not just boots on the ground, they our the soldiers protecting us and fighting to keep us free. Thats sick? I will leave that phrase to to the teens. Sometimes you can go wrong and well, it can look---wrong. We all know by now that a scarf or some other color besides black or gray will give you that pop of color. Those our my phrases that make me cringe.

Agreed!  Along those same lines, I think the word "brilliant" is overused, especially in the music industry.  I just don't like it when a person says that so-and-so's rendition of a particular song was "brilliant".  Really?  Maybe it was well sung; maybe it was artistically beautiful, but "brilliant"?
