Overused words/phrases that you are sick of hearing?

Postby Squawk » Wed May 14, 2008 1:35 am

I am sick of hearing the following words used time and again, often in terms for which they were never intended.

1. Superstar. Usually used to refer to 95% of AFL players and now creeping into Cricket and other sports.

2. Terrorism. Everything bad that happens in the world is suddenly terrorism. This includes Bikies. Terrorists have political motivations, full stop.

3. Working Families. Counted it about a dozen times in the (1/2 hr) Budget Speech.

What words/phrases are you sick of hearing?
Steve Bradbury and Michael Milton. Aussie Legends.

Agree with this one Squawk. Especially when James Brayshaw introduces Trevor Marmalade as "the superstar behind the bar" and that he has "dominated" for 15 years. Didn't know he had any competition to "dominate" over.

Similar "young champion" for everyone who gets more than 5 kicks in an AFL game. Would only be one or two players per generation that would come under such a definition- Carey, J Brown, Judd.

Also the word "like" into of says.
