Mine's the phrase "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
I'm not a cow, sex is not a commodity, and if I marry someone--I don't owe them sex (or vice versa for that matter).
At the end of the day.....basically....it is what it is.....thoughts and prayers.....
God works in mysterious ways, I disdain that one. Should be more like god works in delirious ways.
"There is a reason for everything." "It is what it is." "Give it to God."
“It’s always darkest just before the dawn.”
No, it’s not. Have you been outside before sunrise before?
“Everything happens for a reason”
"Everything happens for a reason"
Just quote back George Carlin to them. "Sometimes the reason is your a moron"
Let’s do this.
“Woke” and the various forms of its usage.
I still like this one...
I agree. Sex is a shared experience and people are people, not cows. Women are not livestock as the bible would have us believe.
I despise the phrase “guard your eyes”. Women’s bodies are not a trap for men or vice versa. Respect for my fellow human tells me where my eyes should look, not fear of sinful traps.
I hate the word 'nigger'. I understand its etymological roots but it's a word that comes packed with a sinister and horrible past.
But in terms of phrases I can't stand 'We are where we are' it's so glib and dismissive
That, and "It is what it is."
"I'm just sayin' "
Someone obviously has a point to make, but when anyone wants to ask a question, they toss out the 'i was making a statement, it doesnt mean i want to answer questions or even talk about it' move. Usually used by someone wanting to rant about something but not actually looking for solutions to fix it.
"Real quick"
Its NEVER quick, and seldom real.
Salesman, bosses, etc use it as a way to start a convo thays going to take 10 minutes.
One? hard to say, but among the contenders: "it's god's will" and "it's in god's hands now." in some circumstances, i dislike "it takes time" because it is used to explain why something isn't happening. in most cases, "it takes WORK" is more appropriate. in japan, i taught a woman's group and when i brought up women's rights they'd tell me "it takes time." i'd respond, "then you'd better start NOW!"
