Perhaps I am an overly sensitive oldster, but today the following few phrases I hear in ordinary discourse actually annoy the hell out of me:
#1 That's what I'm talking about!
#2 Have a nice day! Or, Have a good day!
# 3 Sounds like a plan!
#4 I told you so!
#5 No problem!
#6 Whatever!
#7 I knew you'd say that!
#8 It doesn't matter!
#9 This is an automated system...
#10 I don't understand you!
#11 Please wait!
#12 We are having an unusual volume of callers. Please call back later!
#13 This annoys the hell out of me!
And there are more I am sure!

I cant stand "it is what it is"
Good one! It is perhaps a variant of "what will be will be."

Manning I will then try to avoid over using #2 and #5 when I answer your comments. I usually close with a form of #2 and not just have a nice day. Until Next Time Good Sir Take care...(I hope that's not #15)

Unfortunately, it is another one that you have raised from the dead: TC or Take Care! LOL!
(But then, LOL or Laughing Out Loud is getting very cloying too! Plus, its many derivatives also!)
Another that just surfaced: "We are all in this together!" and its many derivatives, "We are all in the same boat!" Etc. which I really hate!
And then: "Whatever floats your boat" surfaces and it should be sunk!

Agreed! Then add: "Biden, Biden, Biden", and his whole family! "Hunter, Hunter, Hunter", and "Laptop, Laptop, Laptop!"
"Something ought to be done..."! and its numerous conjectures...
Lately, "What can we do..."

I see you have your uniform on today.
“We’re all in this together” is a political term created to make us all feel better about COVID.

A list is a list is a list, so what? I suggest that you are incorrect about what this section can address... I was stating items for fun and not discussing the items. And it ended up all-inclusive as well.

On #2: I have put Enjoy on my own list! Too common! Then too, 24 hours is a bit short, don't you think?
On #5: That is most acceptable! Thanks for it!
