Overused Expressions that Bug the Hell out of Me!

The expression?"I'm going to give 110 percent..."I know, I know. It's an obvious one. We hear it all the time, we're probably guilty of saying it ourselves. All the speaker is trying to convey is that they're going to give their utmost effort, whether its for our football team, finishing that project at work, or earning the right to be first big-haired, multi-tattooed, corseted skank to go down on a former 80's rock star blah blah...

But let's face it, if you're already giving 100 percent, you're giving your all, you're giving everything your body and mind have to offer, so where did this extra 10 percent come from?It's not like you can borrow it from your friends ... "Oh, Jack is pretty lazy today so he won't mind if I borrow 10 percent from him so that I can really excel woo hoo."

Anyway, I know there's a zillion examples of when people don't really say what they mean, and say something far more ridiculous , so perhaps I'll try to make this a running commentary when all these peculiar expressions occur to me.
