First, CPs to Katie for ripping her off and initiating something that is 99% her idea (Sayings or phrases you hate).
But I do take credit for the 1%, as I have written something about this in an article for some other purpose (outside Broncos Country).
So here's my small list of favourites:
-The word “get” as in “understand”. I heard this way back from an old coach, and it stuck with me. I use it whenever I can. Hey, I “get” that. It seems to make me sound intelligent.
-The word “cool” used in a hip way (not as in temperature). I’ve used this gem for decades and it still works. It says more than one word ought to! I love this word. For example, “that’s cool”, or “I’m cool with that”, or simply “cool”.
-“Folks” – this is a gender-smart word, and has a “folksy” feel to it (do you “get” what I just did there?? - folks and folksy!!)
.
-“At the end of the day” – this summarizes things in a rustic way. This phrase is so earthy. Has a peaceful intuitive feel. Again, makes me feel smarter than I am......okay, please refrain from saying the obvious.
-“Stay the course” – I like using this, as it makes me feel like I’m in control when others have lost grip. It’s not often that I’m in this situation, so I take advantage whenever I can. Plus I like to paddle, so it gives purpose when I am on the water, and would be quite valuable if a storm ever popped up….I think. ("help" may be the operative word in that situation)
