Dead metaphors adn catch-phrases

Add your own!

Slings and arrows. There's the fucking rub alright.

Office Space references. Mike Judge should hold a press conference declaring that after such-and-such a date, such references will be legally actionable.

1. It'd be ironic to land yourself in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for referencing Office Space.

2. ...

:rofl:

[Serendipitous]

3. Full of piss n vinegar

WTF does that MEAN!?!?

[trackfan]

4. You don't often hear someone referred to as the "Cock of the walk" anymore.

5. The cat's pajamas

When did cats stop wearing pajamas, anyway?

[Okiojira]

6. I nominate:

Any utterance of the word "sweet" which uses more than one syllable. As in:
"Honey, I thought for dinner tonight I'd fix your favorite meal - pan-seared horse testicles braised in ginger/cumin/gunpowder sauce. How does that sound?"
"Suh-WEEEEET!!"

[Okiojira]

7. My bad

"Oh my God, Dave! You just pulverized my wife's cat in your wood chipper!"
"Sorry, dude - my bad."

[terrya]

8. "Beat a dead horse"

Seems sort of pointless, I think.

9. Rejuvenated things shall no longer require shots in the arm.

Other things will be clear besides bells and crystal.

Persons shall henceforth face consequences rather than the music.

We must be succinct instead of keeping things short and sweet.

Things I dislike will cease to rub me in any way, least of all the wrong way.

Dumb people will have to find new things to resemble, as posts, boxes of rocks and bags of hammers are due some vacation time.
