I'm not sure very many people say them anymore, but I never much cared for "my bad" or "same difference." I'm fine with "awesome," though.

Let's face it. Sports (or "sport," to the British, who insisted on removing the S from the end of this word and sticking it on the end of "math") analogies are generally lame.
quote:
What is a paradigm? this one still confuses me, I threw it in at random points and wasn't picked up on it so I guess the agency didn't know either
1. One that serves as a pattern or model.
2. A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb.
3. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
I don't mind this word when used appropriately, and I've even used it myself on occasion. I get the feeling that it's usually used quite inappropriately in the business world, however.

I walked into a room last night and a stoned guy shouted at me
"Wassssssssssssssssssabi." I wanted to slam the
door in his face and walk out but, alas, etiquette dictated I
do otherwise.

It could be either of those. Who knows? I try to tune it out.
Another one making the rounds not too long ago was: "You heard me."
"I'm gonna eat that sandwich. You heard me."
What the fuck?

I am, like, so guilty of that. I do that, like, all the time.
But the one expression I have never uttered is: "she goes" or "he goes" unless it involves movement:
"So she goes, 'Dude,' and I go, 'Whatever.' "

I do the same Caroly. And I tend to take on different accents (usually southern) out of the blue. And I use old silly phrases that people within 30 years of my own age would find outdated and dorky. For example: "Shoot a pickle!" and sometimes, if I'm "feeling my oats" I'll add "...for a nickel!"
I also mix up my metaphors. But I'm not sure that's intentional.
Gee, I'm lucky the internets are anonymous and none of you know I have these annoying habits. ;)

hahaha, sounds familiar...I do a mean irish accent ;)
I love old silly phrases, what does shooting a pickle mean?
I once said that my dogs are barking and it took me weeks to convince dean that it really is a phrase.

I think it has something to do with old carnival games. Some kind of target shooting for a town with a shortage of 2-d ducks perhaps?

The late, great John Candy (another reason to love Canada!) used the
expression "my dogs are barking" in "Planes Trains and Automobiles."
I wish I had known when you were trying to convince Dean, I would have
whipped out that reference. I mean, who can debate you when you've got John Candy on your side!

I was just pretty proud of that award, it took half an hour of pun collecting to make.
I dotted reminders around in various threads all at the same time, I figured you'd stumble accross at least one of them.

a ha! here's a thing I picked up from someone and have since spread amongst people, when needing to go to the "bathroom" in pubs or peoples homes you say
"Right, I need to go to the little pixies rooms"
It's great, I mean I know it's wrong to equate the pixies with a toilet really but it works so well, I can't say anything other now.

If someone asks to use your bathroom, ask them if they want a bath.

"issues"
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb. |

Hot damn, Calistanian! I was about to post that. Swear to god, I was coming round here to post that very overused expression. It's so 12-stepping L.A., if I may toss that cliche around.

My husband worked with this guy who kept saying "Who's your daddy?" And he winked when he said it. Ugh.

How about "110%", thats pretty stupid.
I saw an interview with Jermain Defoe (footballer) on TV just now and he said "the coach expects us to come out and give 120%", like 110% wasn't sufficient.
Its all a little Spinal Tap...

I really hate that, I hate it more when it's people I don't know or people who I dislike anyway. Usual response "My daddy is my daddy fuckwit"
and 110% is really stupid (unless one of my lecturers decides my final essays of the semester were SO fantastic they want to give me 110% then it's the coolest fucking percent in the world)
