5 Stupid Things People Can Go Ahead And Stop Saying

1. "Breakfast of champions." When the expression is known better than the source is, it leads morons to utter it about eating Doritos or pizza in the morning without knowing or caring where it comes from.

2. "Your tax dollars at work." Your brain cells are not at work though.

3. "If I had a nickel." If I had a hammer every time I heard someone say that, I would likely be in jail by now.

4. "Which begs the question." This has been misused so much that its misuse has become accepted usage. Even if the saying has backed its way into the realm of grammatical correctness, it still sounds moronically pretentious.

5. "___ o'clock." Beer o'clock, sex o'clock, nap o'clock, snack o'clock. How about shut the eff up o'clock?

How about everybody stop saying "go ahead and...". Instead of saying " I'm going to go ahead and cut this board in half" say "I'm going to cut this board in half". The "go ahead" part is not only redundant it's REALLY annoying when you hear it 15 or 20 times in a 6 minute YouTube video. Please and thank you....

This rant is brutally honest and hilariously accurate. The way you break down overused phrases like “breakfast of champions” and “which begs the question” perfectly captures how language loses meaning when people repeat things without understanding them. The sarcasm lands especially hard with “___ o’clock,” which truly deserves retirement. Reading this made me think about how clarity matters in every field—whether it’s communication, writing, or even professional niches like embroidery digitizing services
, where precision and correct terminology are essential. Overused clichés weaken expression the same way sloppy wording weakens credibility. Sharp writing like this reminds people to actually think before they speak.
