10 Clichés That I Hate

“That being said” or “Having said that” – if you said it, why do you have to say you said it?
“Been there, done that” – Are you bragging or bored? This is so old and heard too many times.
“Yaddi yaddi yadda” – Where did this come from and what does it mean, except for a space filler?
“24/7” – isn’t everything so why do you have to say it?
“It is what it is” – I think this means “don’t complain about it.” Some people might say “This too shall pass” or “Let it be.” This is beginning to sound like a Beatles album.
“Out of the box” – It means “creatively” so let’s just be creative. I recently heard someone say “out of the square.”
“Discuss, meet or talk offline” – as opposed to online which might mean on the Internet, but this means meeting at another time and place.
“Flesh that out” – That just sounds disgusting.
“All intents and purposes” or sometimes misspoken as “all intensive purposes.” This reminds me of the first one on my list. It’s a waste of breath.
“My bad” – Just say “excuse me” or let it go.
