i love this list from they might be giants of annoying popular catchphrases that are not permitted to be spoken within the band. some of my favorites (i.e. least favorites):
don’t go there
it’s all good
it is what it is
no worries
i'd add to this "my bad." i'm sure there are more, just can't think of them at the moment.

I hate any inappropriate comparisons to Nazis or Hitler. I also
ha! great list. i want to post it on my fridge.
how about "true, that" ugh.
i can't believe i didn't think of "true that"! HATE it. and yes, david, i'm really tired of "(blank) nazi."
oh my god, i am going to adopt this as my personal list! there are just so many awful expressions in the world (e.g. "playing the whatever card.)
how about in german?? any annoying expressions?
i know i am SO HORRIBLE AND MEAN, but basically anything distinctively schwäbisch annoys the hell out of me.
i find that so funny, since i wouldn't know schwäbisch if it bit me on the butt.
I mostly underscore the misuse of "literally." Once a story on NPR said someone was "literally in the hands of god."
I'd also add "not on my radar screen."
YES. both of those, YES.
