Does this thread deserve a golf clap? The only problem with retiring these phrases is that we could get stuck with 99 new ones that are even worse. ---

I’ll add my vote for: _I see what you did there_ “Faux News” “+1” & “this” (unless followed by at least a paragraph of why you agree) “Teabaggers”. Link to Youtube followed by “discuss”. ---

“You win the thread” (along with all variations) “Teh Interwebz” (along with all variations) Two that I think I’ve only ever seen here: “Cow-orker” “Sammies” (meaning “sandwiches”) Edit: Oh yeah, “nom nom nom” is awful too. ---

> [@MrSquishy](#): > > Two that I think I’ve only ever seen here: > “Cow-orker” > “Sammies” (meaning “sandwiches”) Oh, sammies is all over the place. I think I’ve seen it on a restaurant menu somewhere. Or maybe it was at the grocery store. ---

Yeah, half of this list is “People should stop using expressions,” but message-board-wise, people really do need to stop quoting entire, lengthy posts just to add “+1” or “This” or declaring thread victors. Irritating and pointless. I will not stop replying to ridiculous lies with “cool story bro” because I like it too much. ---

> [@Enright3](#): > > Og forbid, or any other use of the word Og. Just use the word God, for God’s sake! We have Orthodox members. That word makes them a little uncomfortable, I am told. MeanOldLady- yeah, some MB just have a “+1” feature, which I like. Not that i suggest we have it here. ---
