Clichés. How I despise them. I hate how people pick out a cliché like it is their own deep thoughts.
Especially despised ones:
You gotta give 110%.- Obviously you did not in math class.
It will all work out in the end, if it has not worked out, it is not the end.- Give me a fucking break. Tons of shit does not work out in the end. Take more than 50% of marriages these days.
It's not over 'til it's over.- Here is a gun, do the right thing. Many times things are over long before the actual END.
More serious ones, more despised:
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem- Fuck you Phil Donahue. Way to trivialize what someone is going through. Proving to them yet again that society does not fucking understand.
Anything referring to silver linings or lemonade.
You want to have your cake and eat it too- well no shit. what did you think I wanted to have the cake for? To look at it longingly? To eat it fucker! (and yes, I do know what the cliché means, I just feel it is poorly expressed, as a kid I never got it). Seriously, this always come from people with a very narrow view. People who try to pigeon hole. Just because two things to one person cannot co-exist in their life does not mean they cannot be maintained by someone else.
Well that's it, it's over*cue the fat lady*

Dammit! I just spat my bloody coke out at your answer to having your cake and eating it too, which never made any sense to me whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteNor did "you've made your bed, now lie in it." Shouldn't it be, "you've laid in your bed, now make it?"
I never thought about that! It makes PERFECT SENSE now
DeleteI agree Lily. Yours is much better.
DeleteBloody hell, you wrote 'cue the fat lady' and I answered...though everyone knows, I'm just big boned.
ReplyDeleteNah, not you Lily. You must have scared her off. She felt so inadequate next to you.
DeleteWell you know, success is a journey not a destination. And you don't want get the short end of the stick. When the rubber hits the road and you can't beat you join 'em, with a full head of steam. Oh screw it.
ReplyDeleteyou forgot my favorite, Two heads are better than one. But enough about my sex life.
Deletei FIND THAT ANY REFERENCE TO FOOD MAKES ME HUNGRY.
ReplyDeletecake.
eat cake.
"it is what it is" makes me want to punch myself for hearing it!
I winced with that one.
DeleteI agree. I hate all those "think positive" cliches. I just want to tell people stfu, I can think all the positive thoughts I want, but oops, I have a chronic disease so my body may not decide to cooperate. Oh, and the thing about suicide, people are so stupid to think that it's a "choice" that people make.
ReplyDeleteYou slay me Jamie, I have to say. You can make me laugh about the stupidity of people, when
what I want to do most times, is scream. Bravo.
Well thank you very much:)
