I hate that phrase.

What, if any, common phrases or idioms do you hate/think are stupid and/or useless?!

My compliments to the chef. Because....I eat food on a college campus and it sucks.

And...what does the "peanut gallery" mean???

Meh, Its like potato (Po-tay-tow) potato (Po-tah-tow)

No one uses the later, that isnt a word, that phrase only works when one of the options is wrong!

And also...



I dislike eating apples...

I hate you, die slowly...

EDIT: And painfully!

Just change it to the Texan version! In stead of:

Potato (Poe-Tay-Toe) Potato (Poe-Tah-Toe)

It's:

Pecan (Pee-Kahn) Pecan (Pee-Can)

No one uses the later, that isnt a word, that phrase only works when one of the options is wrong!The intent of the phrase means it only works when <i>neither</i> pronunciation is wrong. That's why it's supposed to be "to-may-to, to-mah-to," since both are used and considered correct in different parts of the world.

"toad-suck fairy" - The part of the parking lot farthest away from where ever it is you are going.

And finally, "Slow Up" bothers the hell out of me.

"It's like comparing apples and oranges."

And... why are these incomparable, exactly?

I've always wondered that myself.

I mean comparing an apple to a walnut or an orange to ... A CAR, would be alot better example than apples and oranges.

An apple and a walnut and an orange and a car are clearly two different things, where as an apple and an orange.. well they're both fruits. :(

The presumed, more fitting alternative would be "apples and other apples."
