I’m also tired of constantly hearing “Hands! hands! Show me your hands!!” Usually followed by “Turn around and walk slowly backwards towards me”. Time for something original officers 🙄

"Hand-crafted," "hand-made," and "small batch" are some expressions that have lost all significant meaning and now irritate me greatly. These labels get slapped on nearly anything these days and it makes me want to toss a handcrafted ball of dung at whoever thought overusing them was effective marketing.

How about, when you may have gone to the Watch Expo but something came up:

I could've went to the Expo, or worse, I could of went to the Expo on the wrong day!

In these unprecedented times..
Investment grade
LNIB (it’s either new or it’s used)
Great project (aka broken and I didn’t want to deal with it)
Serial flipper (just call them a dealer)
It’s a feature, not a flaw
Rare Rolex.

Sorry, didn’t mean to stab you, I didn’t take my meds.

Man if I had a dime for each time I heard that one.

What would be a better term?

Everything is “issues” these days. Years ago, we called them what they were: problems.

Also: if I see another “gluten-free,” or especially, “plant-based” on another food product, I may go postal. (That’s one that seems to have fallen out of favor).

Having children with immunity issues who are gluten free, it is a real health issue. Just ignore it? If I see "contains nuts" I'm not irritated that it's warning some stupid kid they might die.

Plant-based means no animal products. It's more polite than saying "Doesn't contain parts of dead animals."

Time for a beer?

Along these lines, seeing "fat free" plastered in bold letters on a gigantic package of gummy bears always makes me giggle

It's the products labeled gluten-free that are naturally gluten-free that bug me. It's one thing to look for gluten-free bread or frozen waffles, but potato chips don't have gluten but they'll slap gluten-free on the label. On a funny note, there was a car wash in my town with a sign out front "Gluten-Free Car Wash"

This.

It’s not at all that I am unaware, or insensitive to the associated health issues, being gluten-free myself. It’s the co-opting of the phrases and slapping them on anything the even remotely could be related, for nothing other than the desire to catch a consumer and sell more products.

"I'd like to double click on that"
- Used in a verbal conversation where someone wants to dig deeper into a certain topic.

Heard this for the first time a few weeks ago while interviewing a candidate for a new role... almost jumped across the table and throttled him.
