Oh, there was a time not long ago when I had a whole list of these to rattle off. Today, though, only one comes to mind... I'll try to post more when I remember them.
--It seems like every single explosion these days is "ripping through" something, and it drives me nuts. E.g. a bomb or explosion "ripped through" a building/area/bus, etc. Find another fucking expression, please. The last thing we need are cliches about people and places being destroyed.
Oh yeah, and I hate the use of the word "free" or "freedom" in any kind of political/economic context right now, too. Such utter bullshit; please stop proclaiming this word as Truth and come with me on my job in the Philly ghetto to see how "free" this country really is.
EDIT: Let me also add that I cannot STAND evangelical Christian catchphrases. Mind you, I fully inhabited that world for many years, and I used the very same lingo throughout my stay in that foreign land. Which probably causes me to be even more sensitive to and offended by its use in my immediate surroundings. You could swear up a storm and it wouldn't irritate me as much as a little pair of evangelicals having a 1-on-1 "accountability meeting" at a local coffee shop, next to my table. Shut the fuck up already and go pray in your closet like Jesus said to do.
