Now, our twice-yearly plea to the masses: PLEASE stop using the following cliches:
Game changing
Reach out to
Having said that
That having been said
At the end of the day
Begs the question
Needless to say
Be that as it may (should only be spoken by a mustachioed gentlemen wearing a monocle)
The powers that be
Zeitgeist
The devil is in the details
For all intents and purposes
Break the glass ceiling
Tenuous at best
In a nutshell
Perfect storm
Paradigm shift
More often than not
Wait, what?
Say what?
Ya think?
If I hear you say it, I will call you on it. This can also be a drinking game. Turn on any news channel and wait for an anchor or guest talking heads to say any of these phrases.

Another "Gag Me": rock star, as in today's New York Times:
"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 2nd Woman Appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Found Late-Life Rock Stardom"
She slept thru most sessions. Lifetime appointments are wrong.
In fact, I have shared my thoughts with her. She does not respond. Joyce Taylor, "You can't handle the truth." I also sent her a link to this post: https://qzvx.com/2020/09/18/there-is-something-wrong-with-the-black-mans-mind/
Jason,
Have you made Joyce Taylor aware of this video? If so, how did she respond?
Television continues to promote the 'victim mentality", with KING 5's Joyce Taylor's race baiting segment called "Facing Race".
"'Facing Race,' to me, is an opportunity for our community to have some really challenging, difficult, honest, candid conversations about what it means to be black, Hispanic, Asian, white, privileged in this country and in the Northwest. What that actually means,” Taylor said.
What they won't show on these segments is--- some basic truth. That is explained in this short sermon from a black preacher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pFr0qvpxKI

There was a half hour commentary or public affairs program late Sunday night on KJR in the late fifties and early sixties hosted by Trudi Guberle. I once had a date with her niece Cicely Guberle. She wore blue contacts.
I think the names are spelled right . . .
There was a radio commentary segment with that title, Let Me Say This About That. I think it ran on KJR in the 1960s.
Quite frankly
Let me say this about that
How about "with all due respect" which usually means the opposite.
Just sayin'
Sooner rather than later
Speak truth to power
Let me be clear - or sometimes "perfectly clear" to demonstrate sincerity
But you know this - used following an obvious lie
"Truth to power" annoys the hell out of me. First, it sounds of new age babble. Then the truth is often backed up with opinion vs fact.
Agreed. That one gets me. You are correct. It is something you might see on a protest sign.
Writ large
Fraught
You know
Sort of
So
To be honest, anyone who uses the phrase, to be honest, is lying.
