Awsome
At a restaurant
Me to server: “I’ll have the burger and chips”
Server to me: “Awesome”
No dude, the pyramids are awsome, the Rock of Gibraltar is awesome. Sex is awesome. A burger is a burger.
Almost all of the meaningless intensives (Why else would they be called meaningless?) like ‘Go to hell’, Drop dead.’, ‘Fuck me running.’. 'Shit down both legs, …
good one
The cynical part of me always figured that there was a factory somewhere with robotic hands making things when they said “hand made”.
“I’m just saying”.
:mad: Gawd that bugs me! I know you’re just saying, I just heard you say it! Now STFU and stop saying that!
*
“Please listen carefully”* meaning: pay attention stupid! as our menu options have changed!
WHY?!? :mad: Why does every company need to tweek their voice mail system?
Translation: I reject your concerns while recognizing they may be correct or at least not wrong. Go back to work.
Translation: We’re not changing this. Stop whining and go back to work.
I will never get the intense, seething hatred for this phrase. Of course it’s a tautology, that is the entire point of the idiom. It’s used to combat wishful thinking and useless “should have/ought to” scenarios. All it’s saying is “it would be much better if this situation were different, everything would be easier, everybody agrees about that. However, it’s not that different ideal situation – we’re stuck with this shitty situation and we have to accept and deal with that.” “It is what it is” is just a shorthand way to remind people that things are not different, they are what they appear to be, and wishing it was not the state of affairs is not productive or helpful.
I mean, I don’t use it because it pisses off so many people, but I’m baffled about why such a useful notion expressed so succinctly pisses so many people off.

Since someone mentioned voice mail, I really dislike getting the usual long and rambling intro message: “Hello, you have reached John Smith. I’m either on the phone or away from my desk at the moment. Please leave me a detailed message after the tone and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you require immediate assistance, please contact Betty Boop at extension 12345. Have a nice day.”
Zzzzzz. I just fell asleep. I know how voice mail works. It’s been around for 40 years. Jesus. And yes, I know I can hit the # key to proceed immediately to the in box.
Mine: Hi this is Doug. Please leave me a message.
Except when it’s a Freakin’ Unbelievable Burger. 
“Ima” - How can you say more clearly that you are a phony poser trying to claim “street cred” (and I don’t like that phrase much more) in just 3 easy letters?
Worse, vintage for something which is not. Putting lace on something does not make it “vintage”.
“That’s whassup!”
“I know, right?” and “Wait. What?”
Both of those phrases have meaning.
“I know, right?” means, “I not only agree with the facts you’ve stated but also empathize with the emotions those facts evoke in you.”
“Wait. What?” means, “Hold on. What’s the explanation for this insane thing you’ve just told me? I need to understand this, so don’t bring up anything else before what you’ve clarified what you just said.”
Mine: Hi, I can’t take your call, could you please leave your shoe size and sing Moon River after the beep.
Back to the OP - ‘in and of itself’ also ‘attitude’. Attitude just means attitude.
Bravo! 
I skip a lot of words (not needed) when I post & then many (what/who) claim they can’t follow what I say.
Are these the smart (?) or the frustrated nitpickers?
