Annoying Catch Phrases - Beyond Tiki

Also the following mostly business-speak terms have got to go: "I have too much on my plate" "Are we on the same page?" "Are we all on board?" "Im not married to it" when discussing an idea "Company X is IN BED WITH Company Y on the deal" I hate that! And "yadda yadda yadda." If I hear that one more time I will "literally" die "and things of that nature," which is usually said by someone who has no idea what they are talking about. Ok, people, Im on a roll, here are a few more I cant stand: Ear candy, head candy, brain candy, arm candy. AAARRGGHHH. And one more: the use of the term "rock" or "rocks" to describe anything other than a band. "You rock!" "Dinner at Bennigans Rocks!" No, it doesnt, are we on the same page?
