Cliched Phrases on Boards

Antares35

People saying "don't bother replying to this". It's like please please please let me have the last word.

Or "I'm out" or even worse "aaaaand......I'm out".
It's not poker you know.

And "I'll bite".

Might have been mentioned already in this thread but 'failed to read the room' is popping up a lot in the covid threads and for some reason its like nails on a chalkboard for my eyes.

'failed to read the room'

How could I forget this one - similarly some posters are told to "read the room" before posting something

Then there's a small number of (male) posters who blame men for everything "a lot of angry men on here (it's always men)......."

I find it amazing how quickly bullsh!t phrases proliferate after being used in a few instances

I remember years and year ago there was (briefly thankfully) a trend of people posting "most" instead of "almost". Then a few years after that using the French word "le" in front of emotions. Ending a post not with "sigh" or "groan" but "le sigh" or "le groan"

Though of course we still have people use "sans" instead of without - always strikes me as someone trying to be funny/intellectual/high brow but failing miserably

"living rent free in your head" - off to dignitas with you

Maybe this is just me but I have noticed that a lot of people in professional broadcasting (chiefly sports pundits) use big words that they don't understand and out of context.

For example pedantic instead of pedestrian.

This is is happening on boards.
