Overused Phrases

PR News Online has been keeping track of some of the most tired and “annoying” sayings and from their recent list, here are some classics. I think we may be guilty of using some of these sometimes–are you?
“Let’s agree to disagree.”
“A place at the table”
“Bang for the buck”
“We’ll address it later.”
“I know, right?”
“You know what I mean?”
“I’m going to bat for you.”
Anything with “literally” or “virtually” in it
“Epic fail”
“Because of uncertain conditions…”
“Out of pocket”
“Quite frankly”
“I couldn’t care less”

Here’s the complete list. What are some tiresome phrases that you could stand to hear a lot less in communications? Some of ours are:
“Game-changer”
“At the end of the day…”
“Think outside the box.”
“This is the bottom line.”
“In a round about way…”

We’d love to hear what phrases you think are overused and annoying–so we can all avoid them of course! Making sure we communicate effectively and pleasantly is a huge part of creating real, lasting relationships with clients, advertisers and readers.
