Any others?

1. Here's a couple more:

1. Butt out

I am appalled by that story, and I think your characterization of them as a bunch of Heathers is perfect.

[KitchenWitch]

[LaurenG]

5. Yes, yes I agree with this whole heartedly

Bush is really wrong. That's what the w stands for huh?:evilgrin:

[BobEPeru]

4. By Cracky

I'm not sure I've ever heard this one used by anyone under 60.

This isn't a phrase, but I would really like to hear this old, outdated quote: "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself."
That would be refreshing.

I'll say: "Thank you" Other person will say in response "uh-huh"

I don't know...1/2 of that essential duo is missing. One definitely follows the other. :-)

[KitchenWitch]

14. excuse me!

that one is sorely missing as well.

Like we are supposed to crash into each other in crowds and say nothing.

[eyesroll]

30. My BF's daughter was scooting a cart around in a thrift store

(I was right next to the cart) and she said "excuse me" to a lady who was blocking the aisle.

This lady was stunned that a three-year-old knew anything other than "move."

[CBHagman]

29. I was just going to post the same thing, terrya.

There's a whole generation of children being brought up to believe that the correct response to "Thank you" is "No problem." :mad:

On edit: It would also be fine to hear "It was my pleasure" after someone says, "Thank you." Then again, that seems to belong to another era, too, doesn't it? Are we really all turning into a bunch of crude, unimaginative boors?

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. 'I want to spend the rest of my life making love with you'

Oh, wait... did you mean "you" as in me, or the general "you"?

[SOteric]

24. It's just a guess,

but you don't have any toddlers in your life, do you?

No neices, nephews, neighbours' kids or even a spawn or two of your own?

[yurbud]
