There are some standard cliches and phrases that are used far too often. people just can't seem to help them self saying standard cliches like...

- " it's all good"
- "twenty four seven"
- "At the end of the day" etc etc.....

if anyone can think of any other phrases that they are sick of hearing, let me know so i can add to the list of ...

"Catch phrases i never want to hear again!!!"[/b]

(((Gilly, i know you can help me out with this one.))) :)

There are just so many I don't know where to start. I'll stick with footy related ones for now.

1) Any post match interview that starts with "Yeah, nah"
2) Designated kicker
3) KPI (although that appears to be exclusively a Grant Thomas thing)
4) Osteitis Pubis (what happened to "doing a groin", when did we all become doctors?)
5) "Flooding" or "the flood"

"Go figure" - an Americanism.

"Do the math" - along the same lines as "go figure".

This is Australia and we say maths not math.
