Sayings that you think are rubbish

[Nick P]

Mine is .....'less is more'

MORE is MORE

LESS is LESS

so what tit suggested that LESS is MORE?

"It's too cold to snow."
"I bet it was in the last place you looked!"
"Let's touch base." :shudder:

[rsvmilly]

When people say "Thanking you" instead of plain Thanks or Thank you.

"Let's give this 110% effort"

Grrr....

[Marki]

"At the end of the day"

[nubbin]

"Think outside the box" - what box?
Anything ending in -wise "It's going well, job-wise"
"Twenty-four-seven"
"I'm gutted" - that really is the most appallingly vulgar and clumsy expression ever invented.
"At the end of the day"

[bor]

Heads Up

I really hate this expression so much. I'm all for free speech, but I would apply a net filter to block this c*nting phrase.

I heard someone on TV the other day who was apparently giving "250% effort". FFS!!

At the end of the day, I'm gutted that some people have put less than 110% effort into this thread. Despite the fact it's too cold to snow, you need to think outside the box to create your 24/7 Less-Is-More incentivising strategy, because it's always going to be in the last place you look.

Any questions, let's touch base. Thanking you, etc...

One that I don't hate, but which makes me smile, is:

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall"

innevitably uttered by some small guy, a millisecond before some big bloke knocks him out !

Any advance on 300? Come on now!

'You can't have your cake and eat it.'

Why would you want a cake that you can't eat? It defies logic.

it was Kevin Keegan who caused the massive effort inflation crisis when he demanded 1000% effort from England players, sending effort values into free fall before the market stabilised at the current 250% level

[jimothy]

One of the guys who sits within earshot of me is the classic buzzword-bingo person. He's always using expressions like "lets draw a line in the sand" and other such Dilberts PHB-esque sayings.

Please, no more!

Whoever said that must have a hell of a lot of will power to have a cake and just sit and stare at it.
