Part 3. As much as I am an advocate for free speech, there are still quite a few phrases that everybody should stop using, so here we go:
1. "The Bible said so"
You just can't take enough swipes at people who say this. The Bible is not meant to be taken literally, but there are a bunch of morons that unfortunately do everything that is written in the Bible to a T. A lot of people use the Bible to be an asshole, but it's not even the asshole you can laugh with because what they did was so funny—it's the asshole you want to kick in the face and stab to death with an icepick because they're so infuriating to deal with.
2. "I don't need to explain to you"
This is essentially shorthand for "I can't come up with a good reason why I did what I did, so fuck you." A good human being acknowledges his mistakes and owns up to it; a shitty one doesn't. People always complain about people condescending towards them, so why do they, in turn, also use condescending behavior towards others? People logic strikes again.
3. "I'll pray for you"
Notice that a lot of these quotes are religious in nature, and it's not because I'm crusading against religion in general—it's because these phrases are so overused that almost no one really understands the true meaning of what they're saying.
I actually do appreciate being prayed for, but when it's done with ill intent (and I do know when it's being used with ill intent), then you need to be called out on your bullshit. "I'll pray for you" should actually mean something. It should mean "I'll pray for you because I like you and wish you well," not "I'll pray for you because you're an inferior human being to me." Get better at life, dumbasses.
4. "Get a life"
Probably the only phrase that would make the next phrase obsolete...
5. "You only live once"
Carpe diem for stupid people. I admit, I like saying YOLO in an ironic way. This makes me think that people actually believed that you lived more than once before this phrase was invented.
6. "Go fly a kite"
This is more my mom's phrase than anything, so I heard it maybe 100,000 times more than you have during your childhood. Apparently she's too nice to tell people to go fuck themselves, and instead send me walls of text relating to the news articles I send her, some of which are longer than the news articles themselves.
I'm honestly out of ideas right now.
