33 Annoying Expressions that Killed Our Conversation

Do the expressions we use really make sense? Some expressions, when taken to their logical conclusion, don't mean what we intend. Some are just flat-out wrong and people continue to use them...wrongly. Other expressions are simply annoying. Maybe I'm over thinking some of these, but hearing these clichés is like having a cheese grater scraped over my ears. We all have peeves and these are some of mine.

I could care less.
I'm not alone in hating this misused expression and I get plenty of opportunity to hear and read it abused. The correct expression is "I couldn't care less." If you could care less, you still have some feelings on the subject. Get it right or get fish slapped.

Money is the root of all evil.
This is probably the most often misquoted scripture. Paul's first letter to Timothy actually reads, "For the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Tim 6:10). I come close to losing my religion when I hear this misquoted. Go read your bible after you finish reading this article, of course.

We can agree to disagree
This is why you never became a lawyer. If you are arguing, don't fall back on this one. Drive home your point and never give up. Fight until your last breath. Don't be a spineless worm. I will never "agree to disagree" with you. I'll resort to "Yo Mama" jokes and stab myself in the neck before "agreeing to disagree". That's a promise.

Liquid Gas or LP Gas.
I hate you Hank Hill and your damned propane industry. A substance can not simultaneously be both a liquid and a gas. It is one or the other. You can liquefy a gas, but it is then a liquid. Somewhere along the advertising highway "liquefied propane gas" became too much of a burden. I will accept "liquid propane" or "liquefied propane gas" or simply "propane." We all know it's a liquid in the bottle and a gas when it escapes.

This is your only choice.
Well, it's really not a choice then. The definition of "choice" is having an alternative. Without one, you have no choice. Just say that.
