    You should never use your penis as a weapon.

    I didn't mind this until I heard Mike Greenberg from the Mike and Mike radio show, beat this phrase unmercifully into the ground on every show. Greenberg will literally utter this phrase about a dozen times a day. It's his crutch phrase and massively annoying because it doesn't mean anything. He's even got Golic doing it at times.

    And honestly I don't even listen to that show anymore. I like their chemistry and all, but they just repeat themselves all the time. Same arguments and segments get repeated all the time. It's a four hour show with two hours worth of content, or more like 90 minutes with commercials.

    And of course when athletes claim that they're gonna 'turn it around 360 degrees'. :)

    That works... and based on the size of the list it looks like you have a pretty annoying office.

    You missed the big ones:

    "Touch base"

    "Above and beyond"

    "Hugs and hand pounds"

    Okay, that last one isn't work-related. Unless you work on Stump the Shwab.

    Touch base and above and beyond i hate, another is "please advise" but the one I hate the most is "going forward"

    other ones non-work:
    "holla at yo boy"
    "nose for the ball"
    anything that has to do with "making that paper"

    2 Sports ones that I hate.

    1) "Got to bring my 'A' game." - As opposed to bringing their B- or C+ game!?!?

    2) "That player/coach is as good as anyone in the league." -- as good as? So basically you are saying they are average? This one I hear almost DAILY on any sports show.

    The biggest cliche of all is the word "cliched" - try trite, hackneyed or overused instead. Enough with all that French **** I say :cool:

    Come on people, Think outside the box.

    None of these ideas have synergy.
