'unthaw' ........ as in, unthaw that steak before you put it on the grill. Now, just exactly what are you going to do with a frozen piece of meat on the grill - thaw it?!?!?!

Thanks to Write Divas. Com, some that bug me (and that I, also, am probably guilty of).

My personal favorite: "Have a good day". Please stop the madness.

Overused Phrases and Idioms

it’s only a matter of time
calm before the storm
before she/he knew it
in a instant
opening a can of worms
it’s not you, it’s me
pull a fast one
can I take a rain check?
you don’t know the half of it
what she didn’t know
ruffled feathers
missing the boat
curves in all the right places
around the bend
broke out of my reverie
larger than life
break a leg

Redundant pairs or words that describe the same thing. The following list from Purdue Online Writing Lab is great.

past memories
various differences
each individual
basic fundamentals
true facts
important essentials
future plans

end result
final outcome
free gift
past history

Hope no one said the word "neat" to eliminate from the vocabulary.

I believe this word is used by me on a diurnal basis. Some of the young 'uns cock their head with curiosity when they hear "neat".

Truth be known, my favorite word is neat-o.

"Duh" also gets me.
