    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?

    Saw a kid down the Cape this summer with "It is what it is" tattooed on his forearm

    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!"

    My wife's aunt always says, "the fuck you say?" when telling one of her tall tales.

    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.
