Ghastly expressions you want to see the back of in 2011

One word. Appears quite often at the end of inane YouTube comments.

"Duh".

I use Doh or Duh too much, I blame my kids...

This thread reminds of my time as a signwriter. Too many repetitions of a word turn it into gibberish. My wife had to read my work as I could no longer understand it, or even recognise the words!

 

[Yank]

"Thee" as a somehow more emphatic version of the definite article.

Help. I'm lost.

“Life changing” or "This will change your life" - now seems to apply to everything on YouTube

The leadership of my employing organisation have almost instantly and irritatingly started "leaning in". I know an ex Facebook leader wrote a book with that title several years ago but was at a company conference today and both speakers repeatedly mentioned we need to "lean into" stuff. Even our CEO was was reported mentioning it by the FT this morning with the observation that "leaning in" too far will cause one to topple over!!

We have a few adherents to "Leaning in" at work, fortunately they mostly fell over and no longer work for us.

I see expressions from the era of the original thread have reared their ugly head again this very week on the forum. These include:
Does what it says on the tin
End of
Job done
..and not even excused with so much as a ‘just sayin’, knoworramean?

The job we are at today has a poster on the office wall that includes the words 'leaning in'.
