This Phrase should be banned from saying out loud>
 
.
.
I cringe every time I hear it on TV from some fans in the Pro golf gallery.

"IN THE HOLE!!!"

I can think of many other phrases used in the USA that are overused and cringeworthy. This one tops my list - it's SO 2005...

Cringing
 
I hate it especially when it is yelled when a pro tees off on a long par 5.

However, I don't hear "you da man" as much these days. Maybe because they are "woke" people and believe the player is non-binary.:ohdear:

I only say it when I’m making fun of the people on tv that are saying it.

Calisport 07-03-2021 09:53 AM

Ditto
 
I’ve said it also just making fun of pro tournament audiences when a guy makes a perfect drive.

Who realy cares

I say it every time I hit the ball. The ball rarely has a positive response.

I only yell at my own ball and it's usually, "Don't hook!"

Don't hear You da man! any more (thankfully.)

Not a phrase but a word that has been misused for a long time. . .

“Awesome” — a word that should be reserved for spectacular sunsets, starry nights, the ocean, the Blue Angels flying over, and. . .fill in your own idea of awesome. BUT we all know that it is not for the silly, meaningless use of that word we hear constantly.

Lately though, “awesome” seems to be giving way to “perfect.”

I had to call in an order for shoes recently when my online connection was not working. You will be impressed to know my order was “perfect.” (I am so “awesome.”)

“Perfect” is for SAT scores (not mine) or for getting just the right haircut or for finally getting the balance of vinegar and sugar like it needs to be in my German potato salad. (Adding extra bacon goes without saying, of course.)

I am always polite to these people who do not know any better and are just trying to be nice when they throw around “awesome” and “perfect.” But they have no idea how close they come to an impromptu vocabulary/word choice lesson.

Teenagers and Millennials are the most likely to use those two words habitually. I expect that. But there comes a time to age out of the misuse of “awesome” and “perfect.”
