The short list:
#1 Nip it in the bud
#2 I know right
#3 Take your time but hurry
#4 Hurry every chance you get
Nunber 1 is used by my wife. She first started using it at work.
Number 2 is what my youngest daughter uses and I absolutely abhor that phrase. I won't acknowlege her when she uses it much to her dismay.
The last two were always used by my father and directed at my brother and I while working when we were quite young.

"Assault Weapon"
Huh? A goose feather is an assault weapon when I poke you in the eye with the quill.
"Curvy"
As in a woman describing her body type. Sophia Loren is curvy. 99% of the rest are fat.

This^^^^, and his voice climbing 5 octaves.
I used to make my son livid with:
"You get two days dumber for every day you live".
I usually felt justified in making that statement.

"six of one, half a dozen of another"
When I hear this, I have to restrain myself from sticking the speaker in the eye with an ice pick and setting his children on fire.

Love her, but my sister went for a hat trick of hated phrases in two texts recently. It doesn't bother me that she uses terms like this to describe girls I date - it just bothers me that a grown woman uses terms like this (she's in her 30s). She uses these terms to describe both slightly eccentric people and people with actual mental health issues, btw. So if my sister diagnoses you as crazypants, seek a second opinion. Pretty sure I've heard her say "drunkypants" before, too.
I mean crazypants would be a great nickname for someone wearing some wild trousers, but in this context it's awful.
