Is it time that "throwing people under the bus" was, er, thrown under the bus?!

An innocent enough Americanism, but as can be seen by the above sentence, way too easy to over use!


Oh and while we're at it, PLEASE don't say "it is what it is!" either

Any words/expressions used to death on BB that drive you crazy?

Every series has an oversued phrase. I think 'at the end of the day' was particualrly done to death one series.

would that be a banana bus?

I share your pain

I also hate it when people say 'going forward' at the end of a sentence, apropos of f*** all.

Also:

At the end of the day
Roller coaster of emotion
On a journey

Stepping up to the plate.

and that goes for DS too

"I just tell it how it is."

"I'm only here for the experience."

I literally can't believe it. As I literally use literally, literally every day.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ah don't get upset Scarlet - "it's only banter!"

Yep, and the lawyers are making a killing.

It's a banana van

My worst is "just being true to myself" what the f*** does that mean anyway. Meaning your actually are a load of s****

Basically................................................Yuch

Fundamentally....................................Yuch

When someone says to me "at the end of the day" I usually answer "What at night?" I do it every time they say it, they soon stop!!!!!


Lol

Nesta, why darling why

it is what it is though innit

Haha this thread is like therapy, all the usual cliches have been said..

Really and truly can't stand when big brother gathers the housemates and there's that moment of silence, the housemates begin whispering oooh something's going on ooh a double eviction oooh etc basically comeup with every possible theory leaving for the opportunity for one smart ass to say I KNEW IT.. Yeah pick every number you're going to hit the jackpot genius..

I also hate when housemates constantly think everything is a secret task, surely keeping quiet about it would be the way to go in order to reap the rewards? Nope apparently sabotaging another housemate is more important..

That's not so bad.

Last series everyone's bum was mighty full of everyone else.

This lot, and Nick in particular, intersperse phrases in their conversation with 'D'yaknowwhatImean'

I like Joel, but he prefixes nearly every sentence with "To be honest with you" or similar. It's driving me nuts.

Nick says "you know what I mean?" quite often.

lol I have a very bad habit of doing that too and also using the word 'actually' over and over again as well.

The ones that get me are.
"I wouldn't lie"
Any sentence using honest or honestly.
Hear this and the one thing for certain is you're about to get lied to
