Best and worst phrases??

For me I like "Did you know?" because its so perfectly condescending. "I'm gunna hafta..." is also nice.
I hate "Well, there you go!" cause if it comes up in your conversation it means you're probably not talking about anything.
Your turn!

Okay the one that pisses me off the most, because it's indicative of really lazy writing in media: "what are you talking about?"
That line shows up in movies and television all the time and it's like, you really couldn't come up with a better question? Makes me cringe every time.
The other is "same difference" when people actually mean "same thing".
"Same difference" only makes sense when were talking about numbers, the difference between 7 and 10 and 6 and 9 is the same difference.

"From the horses mouth" is annoying. I have no favorite, at least nothing that isn't an inside joke sort of deal.

I absolutely love the term "fixin' to," as in "i'm fixin' to die," or something of the sort....
and i quite enjoy when people, generally old folk, say, "see, what you do here is...," and then proceed in telling you exactly what must be done in whatever situation is occuring.

It's not so much of an idiomatic expression as it is a pseudo moral, but it makes me livid whenever I hear it: "We shouldn't judge others." What in the hell does that even mean?! It's like the people who tell me not to judge others are in turn passing judgment upon me by saying that. It would be different if they pointed out some sort of hypocrisy in my judgment and followed it up with, "That's why you shouldn't judge them in this particular instance." But that isn't what they do at all; rather, it's just a blanketed pseudo-moral of "Never judge anyone any of the time." That's fucking ridiculous logic!
One of my favorites: "Procrastination is the thief of time." I learned this lesson the hard way while writing papers for college.

"Nip it in the bud" reminds me of my lost potential.
"I love you" and "I'm sorry" both represent a terrible fallacy. Love is selfless, present, and understanding. If one must say "I love you", then it is implied that there is a self (I), a verb (love) and another self (you) to receive the message. There is the passage of time in the act of communication, which further distances oneself from the moment. The phrase then becomes the most common method of expressing the feeling, but as the description is never the described, speaking of love is not love. The same goes for sorrow, which is the root of all passion. If spoken word is one's only form of expression, then one's actions will never be loving.
I rather enjoy the phrase "conformity is disorder". It speaks volumes of the state of the world today.

LOL, that's one of my all time favourites. Acceptance exemplified. Acceptance is good shit.
My all time favourite is:
'Let Go'
Don't have any I don't like.

Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Best: "No shit" - I find this one to be a fitting answer to most situations in life, just change the inflexion used.
Worst: "Get a grip" - I don't wanna get a grip, I'm a highly emotional person and you gotta deal with it, you judgemental moron.
