The ones that currently make me cringe are to 'step up my game', 'think outside the box', 'take it to the next level', & the worst is to 'man up'/'be a man.'
Edited to add: 'rinse and repeat'

That reminds me of people that say "That's just wrong on so many levels".
As if they're experts on the levels of wrongness. "One" being the least wrong and " Ten" being the most wrong. Apparently there are other levels as well. I'll ask them to name all the different levels and tell them " Yes. I'll wait while you Google that.."
think outside of the box, step up my game, and take it to the next level are just wrong on so many levels.
What I don't understand is why people insist on adding 'age' to words in the vain attempt to make them sound important, particularly 'signage'. It isn't signage, they are just signs. That is like calling my car my drivage.

REDEMPTION !!!The ones that currently make me cringe are to 'step up my game', 'think outside the box', 'take it to the next level', & the worst is to 'man up'/'be a man.'

I liked "think outside the box" because it begat the Jack In The Box campaign, "Think outside the bun." One of Jack's best!
I once dreamt I meat Jack. I was hiding in a receiving line after killing a border crossing agent, and it turned out to be a line to meet Jack.
As I regarded Jack's big round head, his assistant introduced him to the man waiting in line in front of me: "Jack, this is Jim Neighbors, who played Gomer Pyle USMC."
Yep!......If I hear that word one more time during the Winter Olympics....I may end up having to buy a new TV....

Who knew ageists would engage?
We are entering a roughage,
Best to don the camouflage.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the ageing of delight.
Against your cage, you must fight,
With ruffled plumage, just take flight.
Sign of The Times,
Sign of The Truth,
Sign of The Age,
All this wreckage,
To see can destroy.
Turn the page,
The living wage
No war.
Sign on the bottom lineage.
