You know the moment when you hear a stupid phrase and your eyes cringe?
Below are the words that cause these moments.
Enjoy.
“It’s neither here nor there”
Track with me… so if it’s not here, and it’s not there, then where the fuck is it? Because I can’t find it and it’s really freaking me the fuck out. Like what are we talking about a ghost? A black hole? The wind? If it’s neither here nor there, then this is quite the puzzle and I’m sitting here typing without a piece.
“It is what it is”
Or is it…. *Que mystery music*
“We agree to disagree”
Can’t we just disagree? You know, you can’t have your cake and eat it too you selfish bastard. Stop dodging the draft and disagree. Chest out disagree. Confidently disagree. Just disagree with me, it’s easier that way.
“That being said”
That being said, you just completely wasted my time because you know, you just said it. I was there, you may not remember it, but I was there. I heard you say it. I looked at you when you said it. I felt it when you said it. That being said, stop saying this.
“I wanted to let you know”
Hey, I wanted to let you know, that you are letting me know. Ok. Thanks.
Please like, share, comment and tell me what you think. What stupid phrase is your favorite? What phrase am I missing?
Lmao… Some of us use these stupid phrases 😂😂

I happen to like “agree to disagree”.
But I absolutely despise:
Live. Love. Laugh.
(perhaps because all I can picture is 30-something women tryna be 21 drinking wine and thinking that’s sexy with their eternal duck-lips)
and
Keep Calm and ___ (fill in blank with some stupid shit. Doesn’t matter WHAT it is, it’s stupid. And overused. And doesn’t mean anything.)
