1. Talking head sportscasters, "experts:"
"There is no question/doubt about it."
Sure there is. If there was not, you would not be discussing it.
Just observe how many times they spew out this "filler."
2."That is just your opinion."
3. On TV sitcoms-every script has:
"Oh my God."
Again, observe how many times this is used.

I am with you brother. I wouldn't touch a "cliche" with a ten foot pole!
It would take a lot to drive me crazy. So, I'll recount some of the mildly to moderately irritating:
"I'm a moderate" (usually from a liberal who doesn't want to admit it).
"Awesome!" (right up there with "deep" and "profound").
"Right-wing nutjob" (used by left-wing nutjobs).
"I have rights!" (usually said by recalcitrant children in the face of superior authority. Some of these children are quite elderly.)
All for now. I'm like jus' sayin'.

"You're a liberal" bugs me when it's aimed at moderates (usually by a right winger that can't stand not being able to pigeon hole someone for disagreeing with their lock step mentality).
Surely you're referring to "Stretch" Kowalski, center for the Gdańsk Hoopsters?
"Heres the thing..."
"I'm not trying to be mean but..."
"The check is in the mail..."
"I'm not trying to be mean but..."
"The check is in the mail..."
"I'm not trying to be mean" (A4T), but, that really puts the "iron" in "irony." :first: "Jus' sayin'" (GuySmiley)."You're a liberal" bugs me when it's aimed at moderates (usually by a right winger that can't stand not being able to pigeon hole someone for disagreeing with their lock step mentality).
"You're a racist." (Jefferson)
(Nota bene for liberals: It's the same as "Your a rascist!")

My aversion for "cliches" predates "Stretch" Kowalski and the Gdańsk Hoopsters!
Yes, and they always keep moving the goalposts. :jump:
Well, sometimes they hit a home run ...
Not sure why my answer to the practice of telling someone else they're mind then suggesting they don't agree with you out of fear of being seen for who they are fits with any of those, but good to see you around, Frank.
Can't be the ironic line, since I've never seen a liberal similarly accuse a conservative. The next two are even more disconnected.
"'Sup with that?"
No, but you can make her wish she did.
