Today is cliche day, where we either celebrate, or complain about, those overused phrases at home, in the workplace or on the field!
I shared some of the overused business cliches, inspired by this article from TechRepublic.
- It’s a win-win situation – If you say this, no one has won anything.
- Think outside the box – This uncreative saying means you’re already stuck inside said box.
- In today’s world – It means now. Say now.
- Push the envelope – There is no special envelope to push. I swear
What about sports cliches?
- He just caught a body – this happens when a player dunks on another player
- GOAT – an acronym standing for ‘Greatest of All Time’
- A win is a win – you say this when you overcome errors and turnovers to win a game
- Next man up – recently been ingrained in society by notably tough coaches, who expect players to come off the bench and perform when someone gets injured
- He just took him to school – This happens when an older player makes a play that a younger player hasn’t seen yet.
Since it’s Sandwich Day, we also shared our all-time best sandwiches.
Joe: Redneck Reuben Sandwich from Barnes BBQ Express in Savannah, Georgia…plenty of sliced beef brisket piled high, topped with swiss cheese, cole slaw, and a kickin’, BBQ ranch sauce on grilled Texas toast.
Dylan: Peanut Butter Banana Burger from River City Café in North Myrtle Beach, SC.
Topped with creamy peanut butter, banana, and mayo.
