"If you have a voice, use it"
it's has all the empty platitude of a politician. when spoken by a famous person this advice boils down to "Other people should say something"

'bragging rights'

^don't hate the phrase, hate the smug assholes who use it literally instead of playfully

i recoil with disgust at the entire concept of "bragging rights" because i think bragging itself is ugly behavior.

I think the phrase "weaponize (anything)" can be dropped down the memory hole.

"wow factor" on any UK makeover or competition programme. It especially annoys me when people say "a wow factor" instead of "the wow factor". Like "I used this special kind of door to give it a wow factor."

I hate dad-phrases that are money-based, such as "I'd pay TOP DOLLAR for blah blah blah", or "they won't get ONE THIN DIME out of me anymore."

why? it's a legitimate thing that happens and probably the easiest way to sum it up. like the Jonah Hill situation.

Jonah Hill has been weaponized?

In aerosol form yes

It's overused, especially by the right. I heard someone--a Republican strategist--on ATL public radio last night talking about how the GA indictments were a "weaponization of the justice system."
What she really meant, of course, was that she was unhappy it was her people getting in trouble.

“let’s make some memories”Seeing it a lot at the moment.
― Bob Six, Monday, 20 May 2024 10:04 (four months ago) link
I am not fond of that one either.
*Goes on a camping trip with the kids* "Ah, yes. You're making memories."
Shit, I might have dementia one day. I'm just trying to enjoy the moment now, THANKS.

I've worked in local advertising for years and yeah "making memories" is extremely overused, but it is useful in some contexts; like, I think it is important to remember to make memories - we can fall into repetitive patterns where it's the same old same. If you don't make an effort to make new and interesting memories, you're not really living

Ok, hadn't heard the "making memories" vs "memorization" argument yet.
