stuff people say

[Elgarian Redux]

I'm for plain speaking! [as long as it's me telling you, and not you telling me]

[Roasted Swan]

I hate - At the End of the Day........................

.... with the greatest respect (my own particular favourite platitude which means I am now going to be rude)........

At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay

.... and who said Victor Hugo couldn't write lyrics.

[MN Dave]

I like all kinds of music.

"It is what it is."

[MN Dave]

"I'm just sayin'..."

[BasilValentine]

Butchered aphorism American style: Instead of "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," they say "The proof is in the pudding," which sounds like an episode from Portnoy's Complaint.
"I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less."

"I'm writing/working on a screenplay." would probably also fall into the dick category. (at least in most cases).

Reminds me of an old cartoon variously attributed to Willie Rushton or Peter Cook: two old bores talking at a party; one says "I'm writing a book", the other replies "Neither am I".

Do you also LOVE Haydn and HATE Mozart?? 

Now that is perfectly possible...

[Sydney Nova Scotia]

You're probably right although I still find it irritating.

Its a bit like Picnicking

'Your call is very important to us. All our operators are busy and we have a very high demand at the moment (apparently the case whenever you call). You are held in a queue. You are number eighty-two.'

[XB-70 Valkyrie]

Right, it's always an "unusually high call volume". Large corporations are both liars and rock-bottom stupid (among other things).

Yes, you're right.
