"To be honest with you...."; "To be frank..."

Translation-- "I'm about to lie to you", or "After bullshitting you for hours, I'm finally gonna tell you the truth." Either way, what's the fuckin use??

" My OLD lady......."

"for real?"
"in my MIND'S EYE"
"in my HEART OF HEARTS"

i am averse to statements that begin with "i hate"

"less is more"

'Irregardless', to the point of nearly chewing out John Carmack, in public, for using it on a mailing list. I wrote the email, and thought better of it before sending it.

Any kind of '133t speak'. Ugh. It's not being creative, it's an attempt to distract the reader from the fact you have nothing to say by confusing them.

'False consciousness', both the phrase and the concept. It's creepy, totalitarian, and utterly repellant.

grrr i really hate this one too.
