    I've worked in more than one place that has used "Fail to prepare, Prepare to fail" as a 'motivational' phrase. It's as if they don't have any faith in their staff and are really saying, "You will fuck this up!"

    Also, someone I work with uses "to die for" way too often, and nearly always about food. As in, "that cake was to die for." Really?!?

    don't let the door hit your ass on the way out


    and many others I can't think of at the moment

  • air quotes. I see people doing this during a whole conversation without stopping. I guess it's a running quote of the current conversation?

    This one really pisses me off. When an "underdog" team wins and then someone when they get interviewed says "Nobody thought we could win" THAT"S BULLSHIT!!!! So what they are saying their fans didn't think they could win too or not one sports writer thought they were going to win? I highly fucking doubt it! :x
