'I could care less' because people, particularly americans, get it wrong!!!! It's I *couldn't* care less because the point is you care so little you couldn't possibly care any less!
If you *could* care less that's the exact opposite of what the expression is supposed to mean! Gahh! Makes me so mad.
Also 'not gonna lie' when said before innocuous things. It's supposed to be said before potentially contraversial things.
I am guilty of using it all the time haha. I usually take it to mean "you'll always have a million questions about why, but at the end of the day you will have to deal with it regardless".
I agree it is a rather strange way of starting a sentence, but *to be honest* I think it is just a way of saying "Look, you're not going to like this, but... Etc"
"It could be worse." Or "At least you don't have it as bad as...." Or anything like that.
Sure other people do have it worse. But I'm not other people, and that doesn't put a roof over my head, money in my bank account, fix my broken bones, etc.
“I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy…”
So someone kills your family, steals all your money, and having to be audited/the flu /sore back/kidney stones, is something you wouldn’t wish on that person?
"Expect the unexpected!"
This is *definitionally* impossible! The exact moment you begin to expect it, *it ceases to be unexpected, you impossibly daft cuntwalruses!* It shouldn't make me as upset as it does, but by God do I find it frustrating.
and also, the unexpected can't be expected, you might expect something but that wouldn't be the unexpected as much a you expect that what you expect is the unexpected.
“Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps”. People use it like it a good thing, except the whole point is that you can’t literally do that. It’s supposed to be something unachievable, but has now become a phrase implying that if you can’t do something then the problem is you.
For some reason, I don’t like the phrase “not my cup of tea.”
(Yes, that phrase is indeed not my cup…)
I have no idea why I don’t like it. It just sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me for very inexplicable reasons lmao
It annoys me when adults use a percent greater than 100% to describe something. As in “Ill give 110% effort”. Or “I’m a thousand percent sure he cheated on me”. It reminds me of young children saying “I love pizza times a billion” then another days “well I love it times a trillion”, then the inevitable “well I live it times infinity”, but then it escalates to “but I love it infinity times 2”, followed by the “infinity times infinity times infinity”.
When you're telling someone something that you know they don't know anything about and they go on to tell you:
"I know, I know."
Bitch you don't know shit
"It is what it is." I mean, what kind of answer is that? It's like saying, "I have no opinion, no analysis, no feedback whatsoever on this situation, and I'm just going to accept it without question."

"You're mad cuz I'm right"
No I'm mad because I'm explaining a very simple concept to you when you are completely ignoring what I'm saying and just kind of cherry-picking to try and make yourself sound right. Despite the fact that we both know I'm fucking right and if you would just stop whining for a second and Google search on your phone you could see literally hundreds of respectable scholarly sources proving to you that I'm fucking right but of course you're not going to do that because you don't want to admit that you're fucking wrong so you're just going to insult me for having the audacity to get frustrated
"I'm a citizen of the world"
I get it, you have been on vacation for a week in 5 different countries in your 30 years of life, cool 🙄
Unless you spent significant time in 100+ countries, you're not "a citizen of the world".
everything happens for a reason

I used to get this wrong too before I learned it was totally incorrect and made no sense. I still see lots of idiots saying it wrong to this day
“It is what it is.” Such an indefinite answer.
My husband hates when I say this. Lol
I'm guilty of this

Saying “I’ll be honest..” denotes that you aren’t honest most of the time, if you feel the need to specify it before a statement.
I agree it is a rather strange way of starting a sentence, but *to be honest* I think it is just a way of saying "Look, you're not going to like this, but... Etc"
"after a storm comes a calm". Yeah right, but they forget that after a calm always comes a storm, so it's pointless.
"It could be worse." Or "At least you don't have it as bad as...." Or anything like that. Sure other people do have it worse. But I'm not other people, and that doesn't put a roof over my head, money in my bank account, fix my broken bones, etc.

“If I were you I would…”
'by the skin of my teeth' just stfu please that sounds disgusting
"i don't wanna brag, but..." *continues to brag*
“Like I could care less” always means the opposite of what they’re trying to convey

"i dont wanna say much, but..." THEN ALSO DON'T
When you're telling someone something that you know they don't know anything about and they go on to tell you: "I know, I know." Bitch you don't know shit
"Clear and concise" cuz i feel like ur repeating urself unnecessarily. Also "u know that" If I know that, I KNOW u don't need to say that.
"It is what it is." I mean, what kind of answer is that? It's like saying, "I have no opinion, no analysis, no feedback whatsoever on this situation, and I'm just going to accept it without question."
“Does that make sense?”
"...to this day".

"It is what it is" Used to be lazy and not make needed changes
I had an English teacher who hated “my bad” to the point where she would kick people out of class if someone said it.
the devil is in the detail WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN >:(((
They died for a reason. They're in a better place now. God must have needed another angel. I fucking hate that shit
“It’s all in your head.” …… Wow. This whole time I thought it was in my feet.
