There is a host that says that prices and items are digestible. They are not food items.

I hate the expression ""On the day"" what ever that means.

Fifty cents a day is another one.

I really cringe when someone says that. I'm not fond of baby bump either.

What is notable about that one is that several of them all started saying it at the same time.

That happens every once in a while it is obvious there has been a ""memo"" or training and they all use the same phrases.

Just a few of my "favorite" Q-isms...

"Just pop this on with a cute LITTLE t shirt and some cute LlTTLE sandals and YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!"

Dress it up, dress it down

Ladies who lunch

So Madison Avenue (or Hamptons or whatever)

$31 and change...

A little less than 50 cents a day

Crazy good

Stupid good

We are GIVING you...

Re: Phrases I Never Want to Hear Again...

I few I haven't seen here yet (in this thread) but see on the forums a lot:

Train Wreck

Hot Mess

Ta-Tas

And anything baby talk: one my grown-up friends use on FB a lot is "Me likey"

and a phrase every politician or business exec seems to use now : Going Forward, as in "I think we should choose this going forward". Well, you can't go backward, so why is this necessary ? (Someone in my book club actually voted for what she wanted to read going forward... {#emotions_dlg.ohmy})

Many already mentioned are on my list, too.

That phrase is also used regularly on HSN and ShopHQ. Maybe it's mandatory home shopping lingo.
