- My bad (icky grammar, icky saying -- I've heard this on TV twice now in the past week, once on Law & Order and again on Judging Amy)
- Think outside the box (where is this box? why can't I see the box? why am I in the box in the first place?)
- Honestly... (usually means a lie is forthcoming)
- Whazzaaaap??? (do I have to have a reason for finding this annoying? doesn't everybody?)
- Bling bling (obnoxious)
- It's all good (tired)
- PIN Number (You DO realize that this means "personal identification number number?")
- At the present time (How about NOW?)
- Action items (I guess "To Do" list just doesn't cut it anymore)
- Voted off the island (hasn't the Survivor show had it's 15 minutes already?)
- That's why I get the big desk (I had a boss actually say this to me once after I'd made the tactical error of complimenting him on something he'd done)
- Embedded journalists (too sexy for war)
- Shit happens (too fatalistic)
- Been there, done that (tired)
