Is it possible no one has mentioned "been there, done that" yet?  One of the more dismissive expressions out there.  I dislike it.

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, or that this really applies (it doesn't), but -

"I don't have a problem with gay people, but if one tries to hit on me..."

Or some variation of that. Ugh.

When I was younger my uncle would always say that he was going to "beat me like a red-headed stepchild" anytime we would play a game.

I hate the red-headed stepchild thing! I was one.

Some variations on this phrase are used by hockey announcers referring to a scorer besting a goaltender:

"He beat him like a rented mule" and "He beat him like he owed him money"

I can't say I'm a fan of either.  I prefer Mike Lange's other turns of phrase:

Been there, done that is a staple of one of my supervisors at work, the one who yelled "blahbity blah blah blah...NOT!" a few minutes ago.

"Everything must die sometime" and other similar sentiments.

No shit, sherlock. Is that going to make me feel any better? There's a time and a place for that. And when I tell people my cat is sick, and they ask me how old she is, and I tell them, and that's their reaction, I want to kill them.

How about just saying "oh well I hope she's going to be ok"

i say this.  and friends say it.  although, it usually ends with, "...they'll be disappointed to find i dont like ______ (or _____)."  i dont think theres anything wrong with that.  its the truth.  i dont like ______.

I find it odd it even has to be said, though. Like, what situation warrants it? Besides being in a Kevin Smith movie or a Knocked Up budz-juzt-hangin' out scene?

I'm not saying everyone should be open to accept flirtatious nods here and there from the gender they're not into, or the fact you genuinely don't want gay people hitting on you, if anything because it could make an incredibly awkward situation (Oh, Withnail and I). Just that line.

"I don't have a problem with these gays, but if one tries to come on to me --"

Seriously, any variant of that.... Nothing comes off incredibly douche baggy?

Also, your ending of the phrase isn't as bad as what generally follows. But I don't know, I've just heard so many slobs say that. It's generally, "I don't have a problem with gay people, unless they hit on me". Seriously. I just dislike that whole, "People can do whatever they want in the privacy of their bedroom" type of attitude towards homosexuality. Like, it can exist, just not anywhere near/in front of me. It just feels like thinly veiled "I guess I gotta" acceptance of homosexuality.

I already deleted the post because I felt bad and am a coward, but yeah, I don't mean to pick on you or anything! I just feel an instant knee-jerk "Gah" in reaction to it, for whatever reason.

I dislike the word, "stinky" for the same reason. It just -sounds- horrible.

I have a friend who despises the word "panties"

So I like to sing the Panty Song whenever I'm near her. I made it up just for her and involves a little dance but no actual panties.

Similarly, though a little more down the turlet, the words "cooter" and "pooter". Ugh.

How about the word "weenis"?

I go back and forth between loving it and hating it.
