Today is the day to make a nice little chicken breast.

Last week I spent probably too much time talking about why the phrase "...threw up in my mouth a little bit" sucks and how it needs to go away. (Thanks to my readers who pointed out that this came from the movie "Dodgeball," and not Gawker or SNL.) Anyway, I guess I'm not the only one who is sick of hearing things. Readers wrote in with their gentle suggestions on vocabulary adjustments:

The Catchphrase Hall of Shame (a Phrase I am Well Aware You Might Hate But I am Still OK with) : Stop Using These Sayings Or You Will Earn Our Disdain

Stan Park: "Check, please!"
"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
"I kid because I love."
Aso, "Amazing how quickly "crazy delicious" ran its course, no?"

Byrd Leavell: "Well it's a small world after all."

Lois Weiss: "Win-win and/or Win-win-win"

Eric Feezell: "'Get 'er done' - This has got to be my number one. Awful, awful, awful. Those redneck comedians on Comedy Central have popularized this phrase to the point that I hear it everyday, several times a day, mostly at work.

Which brings me to my next few. Office-type sayings that should also be destroyed. My co-worker and I keep a list:

"Bait and switch" (?)
"Just an FYI"
"Please advise"
"Collate" - "We're going to need to go through and collate all of this."
"Panacea"
"Verbage" (this, at my place of work, refers to "text" in any document, as in "Please edit this verbage". It isn't even a real word.)"

Kim Bosch: "My suggestion for a catch phrase that must die: UBER. There is nothing UBER cool, nothing UBER anything. Just shut up. Oh. Shut. Up."

Mike Schramm: "If I never hear the phrase "all over that like white on rice" again, it'll be too soon."

Susan Kirby-Smith: "This may be specific to people in literature classes but I'm really tired of hearing people talk about "unpacking the text." Find another metaphor
already.

I also don't want to hear anyone talk about getting their drink on.

I'm also tired of hearing people call their significant other "my honey." Calling someone "Honey" directly is fine."

Joel Keller: "Here are some blog conventions I would like to see stricken from use:

1. Strikethrus. I can't do this in my text-based e-mail, but you know what I'm talking about. You type something, cross it out, then type something else, as if you typed that more salacious thing by accident. I guess it was funny the first time it was used but not anymore. Just type the salacious thing and be done with it.

2. Using. Periods. To. Imitate. Slowed. Speech. Just use italics. Or learn better writing skills.

3. The phrase "not so much." The only person who's allowed to say it is Jon Stewart. I used to think it was funny. Now? Not so much. (See how unfunny it is now?)"

Jenny Miller: "Please retire describing anything as being 'on acid.'"

And I threw in some honorable mentions:

Again, need I remind you that whatever happens in your town does not stay in your town so stop saying it. Stop!

Also, you writers out there. Um, it's really not funny? When you use the word 'um'? To punctuate your disdain for something. Um, yeah.

Finally, I can't believe I even have to say this but nobody should be saying anything Austin Powers-related. Those of you who are still using "Yeah baby!" or something similar should really be ashamed of yourselves.
