I had a jr high teacher who got so tired of hearing us say "like" that she started making a chalk mark on the board every time someone said it. After about 10 mins she had lines across the whole top of the board.

I think I just dated myself by saying we had a chalk board... lol

"Talk to the hand" should go in this category, too.

"If the shoe doesn't fit, you don't have to speak!"

When talking engines with this one old guy, he always used to say....
