    "Just sayin'". This needs to be retired.

    "Multitask". All the time at work, people talk about the need to multitask, even though science has proven that multitasking is really just alternating back and forth between two tasks and doesn't save any time.

    It just feels HEAVY and affected.
    It's become one of those passive end-of-discussion taglines that have gotten as tiresome as "just sayin'."

    Well, that was my two cents, but not so much...just sayin'!

    Shoot me...
    Jay Leno is guilty of the "...not so much" and "just sayin". I don't like it either.

    I went out with a gal about a month after the Charlie Sheen quieted down. Anyway, we're at dinner and she says something then goes "Winning!". I pretended not to hear her say that but she did it again in case I didn't revel in her greatness enough the first time.

    When I hear someone say they "love someone to death," it makes me wonder if they are a bit pyscho killery.

    I was listening to some pompous guy who was asked how he chose his career. He said, "it chose me". That is a douche-bag turn of phrase.
