Aloha Friday: Phrase Pet Peeves

A couple of months ago, I began noticed something that B said "It is what it is" a lot.  To be fair, she probably wasn’t saying it *that* much, but, after I noticed the phrase, my brain would note every instance of it.  It wasn’t only B, though.  I began to note other people saying it.  It seemed that everyone was saying "It is what it is" all the time.  The more I noticed it, the more the saying annoyed me.  I can’t explain why it annoys me, it just does.

This isn’t the first saying to draw my ire.  Years back, "Not!" was the catchphrase bandwagon to be on.  I didn’t join in, though.  In fact, I would cringe a bit inside every time someone said "Not!"  ("Cool beans" also, but that didn’t seem to be uttered as often.)

My Aloha Friday question for today is: What phrases annoy you?
