"To be honest"

[domd1979]

Anyone else noticed how "to be honest" is becoming a massively over-used phrase? Its starting to drive me nuts when people throw it into sentences repeatedly.

 

[gratts]

I've never really noticed to be honest.

 

[kyuss]

"At the end of the day" is another one that drives me nuts.

 

[marinyork]

Proof is another annoying one.

 

[User482]

"to be honest" is usually a precursor to a statement that isn't entirely truthful.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

"At the end of the day" is another one that drives me nuts.

Aaargh. I hate that one. What's wrong with the word "ultimately"?
Unless you're saying "at the end of the day, the sun sets" or something, I suppose.

 

[numbnuts]

to be honest at the end of the day I go to bed

 

[spandex]

To be honest I do not mind

 

[TVC]

I can't see it being used so much going forward.

 

[Bollo]

At this moment in time the phrase 'to be honest' doesn't annoy me.

 

[Joe24]

But to be fair, its not bad

 

[dragon72]

"to tell the truth..."

Why? Do you normally lie?

 

[MePower]

"listen".. hate it when people address you beginning with listen, makes you out to be a kid

 

[ComedyPilot]

I mean

Like

As I say

On the other hand

 

[Tetedelacourse]

Basically

Obviously

To a certain extent

"Source" instead of "find"

I am guilty of the first two

My number one hate presently is when I hear people describe a loosely related group of people as Team "_______". e.g. So, how are Team York coming along with the next CC ride? Aaargh that's pissed me off even typing it!!!!
