Let's round up the troops and have everyone lay it out on the table. Sound good?

Tired, annoying phrases

HELL, NO!
"Not for nothin" (my viewpoint is superior)
"with all due respect" (I'm about to insult you or someone close to you)
Kind of a Jersey thing.

Yes, yes, yes. I think you've come up with an interesting dynamic here. Let's leverage this to it's maximum potential. Really exploit these concepts and take advantage of the the synergies.
Clearly, it's a win-win that has a lot of swag. So, let's take it to the next level. Sounds good? Set up a webex and include me on the planner so that we start creating some milestones.
So, with that said, at the end of the day, we need to really reach out with some clear goals that will drive growth. As we're moving forward, let's ensure that we're being inclusive as well. We really need to cover the diversity angle.

Out of the gate, I think you have come with a fresh, new paradigm here. Let's run with that and see how the rubber hits the road. Hopefully, there's no blow-back.
Another one that annoys me is, "in Soviet Russia ..." when it is used in the present tense. It is very rarely funny and the USSR (CCCP) has not existed for over twenty years.
When someone angrily or sarcastically says "I could care less!" to end a conversation or show disapproval. Oh, you COULD care less? Then you shouldn't be shouting at me or getting in my bidness, bro.
Or when someone says "I don't mean this to sound racist, but..." followed by something incredibly racist. Call it what it is people! I usually call them on it and jokingly try and make them feel bad, which leads them to tell me "I could care less man!" and then walk off like they won while my brain proceeds to short out.

Yep, let's definitely run that up the flagpole.
I know! Right?
I love when people start out with "No disrespect intended" I'm also amazed that it really does seem to mitigate the possibility of a beat down.
'It's cool, bro.'
Always preceded by an incredibly douchey action on their part, as if they could convince me that the crap they just pulled was in fact totally acceptable.
I could feel my blood pressure rising as I read through this...

I hear a lot of these phrases and words all the time. Only difference is that there are a lot more acronyms mixed in. Please shoot me.
"just sayin'" burns my guts out. No, you're not "just sayin,'" you're being a c-word.
Euphemistic language also irritates me. I'm a big boy, I can handle the word "died."
"There are more important things than..." Sometimes it applies, but more often than not I find this phrase uttered by people too lazy or inconsiderate to sweat the details. There may be more importart things, but that doesn't mean that this particular thing doesn't matter.
Any sentence that involves the word "awesome". Apparently even the most mundane things inspire awe these days...
"It's all good". No it's not!
"My bad" sounds like something a three-year-old, not a grown person with a reasonable command of the English language, would say.

Hearing "That's what I'm talking about!" (when the speaker has not been saying anything at all) makes me cringe.
I say this more so to shut people down, generally close friends only though. You have to say it with a bit of disappointment for maximum effect.
