"For all intensive purposes." (um, you're wrong. that's not the phrase. it's a cliche anyway, the least you can do is get it right)

Ditto on YOLO, ugh...

"living life to the fullest." Ugh... the number one cliche of internet dating. I see it and want to scream. Wtf does it even mean?

I invented my own cliche, which I like better: "I'm going to live enormously." This, to me, at least conveys some sense of nobility of purpose and soul - not filling up my life with mundane activities and mundane people, and acquiring experiences like stuff, and stuff like experiences. Ok, enough.

Umm... someone called me out once because I say "That is awesome" a lot. Apparently that person did not think that was awesome. He was like, "you're a damn poet! Can't you come up with a better way to express your approval/enthusiasm?" Apparently not.

You will never hear the following phrases from me...

"Life is short" - I'm sorry but this is the single most depressing thing you can say to anyone. I fail to see how striking the fear of impending death into someone is supposed to encourage them to live.

Hm. I agree with you, but what you will hear from me is the much more depressing, "We're all going to die soon!" I bust it out when I feel like people are being immature, not being self-aware, not living consciously.

Like, people talking about their favorite tv shows, celebrities, etc... Interject me: "We're all going to die soon! You don't have time to watch television!"

God, I'm such a downer.
