Here's a list of some things I really wish people would just quit saying. These simply are not funny anymore and probably never were.
1. "Run, Forrest, Run!" Listen, sometimes people run. It can be for various reasons. Health, sports, escaping danger. At any rate, it's not anything noteworthy and certainly doesn't need commentary, so quit.
2. "You can do it!" Rob Schneider said this on his way out of Hollywood relevance and somehow managed to be less famous than the very phrase he generated for a time. Please return balance to the cosmos and let this phrase die.
3. "Git R' Done" This one shouldn't even take any convincing. Never should have been said to begin with.
4. "Blah blah blah, Random!" This is kinda a catch all for anyone 18 and under and even some of my own peer group. Listen, random means without pattern or order. It does not mean "Hey, I want everyone to think I'm spunky!". Please quit using this adjective for every purpose its not designed for.
5. "That's what she said!" OK, there's actually mixed emotions here. At first when I heard this, I was working as intramural director with a guy who's personality could be summed up in the phrase, and he loved to say it. But then I realized the tongue in cheek value of this phrase has no ceiling. So please, use modestly and only with the greatest amount of sarcastic undercurrent as possible.
