25 Words and Phrases Grand Junction Never Wants To Hear Again

Is there a word or phrase that just makes you want to scratch your eyeballs out every time you hear it?

Enough Is Enough

Catch phrases and cliches have probably been around for as long as the English language has been in existence. They have their place in our daily communication. But, some phrases have just worn out their welcome and we just don't want to hear them ever again. For example, whoever coined the phrase "a penny saved is a penny earned" wasn't paying over four dollars for a gallon of gas.

New terms and phrases are evolving all the time, and thanks to television, cell phones, and social media they spread like wildfire. Today's generation has a whole new list of terms that those over 40 will probably never adopt - let alone understand. Today, if a young person says something is  "sick" - that means it's totally cool. if they are "vibing" it's just a new way of saying they are "chilling" or "relaxing."
