Some internet findings of the "Worst phrases or sayings ever":
1. Ginormous:
Wow, what a way to utilize a portmanteau word. Like Brangelina, bootylicious, and Nintendog (cute as they may be...I haven't fed my dalmatian in months...) it's blasphemous to create such abominations, out of mere convenience, and lack of wit. Using words like ginormous is about as craptacular as someone who lists Spanglish as their major and preferred language.
2. Where you at?:
Boost mobile adoringly adopted this rather bemusing catchphrase, and in doing so, likely contributed to the mental scarring of every impressionable youth that has purchased their service. With such in tuned individuals like Fat Joe showing off their intellectual prowess by uttering such nonsensical babble like “where you at?” I can only hope the human race will look itself in the mirror, and weep unto themselves that we have let this junk infiltrate our everyday media.
3. It's on like Donkey Kong:
Please god, why hast thou forsaken our beloved retro gaming? Is nothing sacred?!?! Like rappers sampling the Law and Order theme, and London Bridge, so to promote themselves as artists (you know, the kind who don't actually create something, but call it their own?), this phrase is about as appalling as George Bush in a spelling bee. Technically, it wouldn't even constitute as a rhyme, and whoever devised such a potently sorrowing sentence such as the one composed above, should be beaten with a dictionary, and forced to worship the very Nintendo cartridge of our beloved game disgraced as so.
4. G Dizzle (or any variation of the letter "G":
I recall the days when a nickname was given to a friend as a kindly gesture of friendship, perhaps playing off a unique trait the name-holder possesses, but not anymore. Now, all you have to do is add the word "Dizzle" onto any letter, name, or action, and voila! Instant generic nickname. You know, the C Dizzle, as I refer to myself in the third person, dies a little inside whenever he passes the Kicks and Lids booth at the local mall, and hears fellow patrons use this as actual vocabulary. I hope this unfortunate trend subsides sooner rather than later, fo' shizzle.
(See also: Hizzie, dazzle, and bizzle for further brain-jarring concoctions.)
5. Holla:
If you liked this column, holla back at me, tell me if you heard. What? You no understand Engrish? You are one of the lucky ones. For those of you that do understand the butchered and seldom-used word "holler", you have either been exposed to Gwen Stefani's debut solo album, or you use the word on more than one occasion a day. The dictionary lists Holler as: "a loud cry used to express pain or surprise, to attract attention, to call for help, etc." Well, isn't this just a coinkydink? I hear someone screaming "HOLLA!" and I yelp in pain for their desperate call for attention. Not to mention that scholars and leaders alike have given hope to this utterance by not banishing it from our very existence.
6. Metrosexual:
(can someone explain what that really means? Actually, I don't really care...)
7. Win-win situation:
(there's really no such thing, now is there?)
8. Think outside the box:
(do you mean; try being creative?)
4) Tighten our Belt:
(my belt's already tight enough, thank-you. And so is your's, you fat pig, that's what happens when you expense every meal to the company!)
9. Give 150%!:
(well now, that's really mathematically impossible, isn't it?)
And...
10. Playing within yourself:
(strange sports cliche' that hints at some sort of auto-erotica thingy...)

Everytime I hear those phrases, I have to restrain myself from knocking someone out. We are in the United States, a country that is *supposed* to speak English. I do realize that we have bastardized the language to the point where some simply call it American. It is rather... unfortunate, to say the least. But we can at least try to not sound like a pack of Neanderthals with this degenerate form of the language.
