"It is what it is."
It is lazy, circular, a cop out and means next to nothing. Vague enough to pass as a wise quip, to some. It is not.
Also not so much a saying per sé, but people who use quotes of famous people at the bottom or ends of emails. As if that implies a personality. If you are going to use something you think sounds smart, at least try to come up with that something yourself.
"Hence why"
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.
Kiddos, especially when used by people in professions that work with kids. Right up there with people who unironically say pupper or doggo. Just say kids.
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
"Oftentimes"
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
“Not me” doing something.
Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.
Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless
