We use a lot of dumb phrases....
Let's start with "heads up".
The enemy has been spotted and we're about to be in a firefight. Do we REALLY want to yell "heads up"?
Somebody's throwing rocks - shouldn't we duck our heads so as not to be beaned?
Heads up, it's HAILING!!!
RANDOM --- some random guy came into the room.....
"Could care less"... NO, that means you DO care, because you could care LESS --- I noticed OBP uses the correct version of this one! "I couldn't care less".
"most unique" - it's either unique or it's not!
"technically" when what s meant is "actually" - because there's often nothing technical about it - "well, technically, the apple pie is better than the peach".
And it's not EXPRESSO!!!!! No matter how much you overpay for it!
