    had a boss that actually said, while being completely serious:

    this isn't like rocket surgery

    and

    let's touch all the bases


    and I know another manager type that says:

    well, I guess I got my pants on backwards with that one

    and also says:

    let's just fist this in

    another one I hate is when having a conversation with someone, they say: "well, to tell you the truth" or "to be honest". What? you mean you have lying until this point?

    behind the eight ball -- don't really know why this one bugs me

    irregardless -- not really a cliche, but the word just doesn't make sense

    It bugs me when a sports show guy says "He ran for a buck and a quarter," rather than saying a hundred and 25 yards. I don't know why.

    Didn't really bother me but we had a friend who would always say, "don't worry about it." when someone got a scrape or something. We were playing soccer and our buddy took a ball to the face, "don't worry about." "Fuck! Carlos! Sometimes I wish you would worry about it!"

    reminds me - years ago a guy that used to work here (he has since retired) used to say "and again" before everything he said. So another guy I used to work with and I were having a meeting with him and we told him that he wasn't allowed to say "and again" for the whole meeting. He did ok with it, but every once in a while he would slip and my buddy would go "ah!, ah!, ah!" while waving his finger at him. It was all in good fun, laughed a lot at that one.

    Its a 'win-win' for everyone. Usually said to us by our parent company when they're trying to get us to do financial things we don't want to do.

    There's just too many sports related cliches.

    "We've got to execute on every play"

    The timeless: "give it a 110%"

    "We have to make plays"

    "Plenty more fish in the sea."

    "Such is life."

    "I know how you feel." (Fair enough, this can sometimes be true. :P )

    'Everything happens for a reason'
