I hate that one, because the cliche itself is not "thinking outside the box".

My mom used that one on me as well... I asked "if everyong breathed oxygen, do you think it might be a good idea?" I didn't end the argument though... I was just being a smart a$$ and got in more trouble with that one. :-)

My personal anti-favorite:

"Are you f*****g retarded?"

Actually, I don't really mind it, I'm just get angry because it always seems to be directed at me.

Being in sales, you hear cliches constantly. Sales guys pretty can have entire conversations consisting totally from cliches.

The best example was on the Office, when the intern turned boss (turned grunt) gave the following speech:

“Yeah i created a website...

Look, at the end of the day, apples to apples, flying at 30 thousand feet, this is a paper company.

And I don't want us to get lost in the weeds or into a beauty contest.

Convergence... viral marketing... we're going gorilla... We're taking it to the street, while keeping an eye on the street, Wall Street.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, in other words… it is what it is.

- Buying paper just became fun.”

"Back in the day." Why don't they just say "long, long ago and far, far, away." Both are equally stupid.

"National Champions" Why? They didn't play every college football team in the nation?

World Series Champions don't play every baseball team in the World. :-)

I through a piece of paper in the waste can, or at least try and some putz will say "a lazy man works twice!" No dim wit, I leave the paper on the floor and a cleaning person comes in and picks it up for me. Plus they are employed by the company so I create a job for them too. So there jerkweed!!!:-)

The phrase often uttered by surley young boys, often in response to a suggestion that they do something different. cut their hair, get a job, not disrespect their parents/teachers etc.

"I'm a grown ass man"

no, you're really not. You're 17. You're vaguely more than a boy, with that little patch of hair on your chin/upperlip, and a problem with authority. You've never done anything productive in your life, and think that everyone around you is against you. If I suggest you get a hair cut and shave the bloody mustach, you'd be surprised how far it'd get you.... sorry rant off.
