Pointless sayings

List out all those that annoy or amuse you...

Some that really get to me are:

"It'll be the last place you look" (When discussing lost things) Oh really? No, you don't say?

or

"It's been a game of two halves" (When discussing football) Sherlock, every game has 2 halves (in normal time) unless the game is called off.

or

"You'll know when you get there" (When discussing directions to a place) Of course I'll know, you know why? Because I will be there.

    Cheap at half the price.

    (Except when you know that cheap also meant goods or property. So it's really the medieval equivalent of "everything 50% off".)

    "A stitch in time saves nine" - you wot mate?!

    "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" - I don't own a baby, or a throwable bath. What are you talking about?!

    I hate "it is what it is". About as pointless as it gets. Its like saying something for the sake of saying something.

    Oh yes. This one boils my blood. (pointless phrase?)

    'There's no point crying over spilt milk'... well, it's not milk - it's my iPhone 6s, you utter cock. And I'm not crying... there's just, uh, something in my eye.

    To be honest, I spend half my life speaking in pointless phrases - I'm the annoying villain in this thread.

    If we're going for CL cliches, then "weird, oh, I mean unique" and "supporters, sorry I mean customers" are so bloody irritating. Like the poster is the first to come up with that pot of sarcastic comedy gold.

    Got no problem with a game of two halves though. We know what it means, right?

    Also, "last place you look" I thought was a joke. Unless they mean "last place they could possibly be" which is surely valid.

    "last place you look" is as useless as "they let themselves down on the final ball", it's only us that can lose it before our final ball....

    "We will learn lessons from this"
    when another poor baby/child is murdered by mother, father,step father etc.

    "no knee jerk reaction"
    when a problem replicates itself again and again.

    "Life sentence"
    Insult to every decent person when after less than X years they are breathing natures air.

    "The streets of Britain will be safer when we bomb........."
    Iraq, Syria,Iran,Luton etc.
    A Pointless untruth from the lie Meister Blair.

    "War on terror"

    Pointless statement, because you can't beat an enemy that lives in the shadows and where one person with a bomb or Machine gun can reek havoc on a whole city or nation.
    Insult to cerebral human peace-loving folk.

    "Charlton can win the premiership in the Next ten years"

    WTF

    "soapboxsam will have a fling with Kelly brook"
    (more chance with Kelly Malone)

    WTF

    Don't know if this is a joke, but that's not what it means. It means you can't eat your cake and then still have it there in front of you. Eg. You can't have it both ways.
