It may well have started long before this, but the first time I ever heard it was on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In context, it was a pretty accurate description of what was going on in the movie they were watching.

Another one. All of a sudden, everyone is saying “sips” for drinks. Stop that crap.

We used hangry in college in the late 70’s. It referred to our roommate whose nickname was hanger. And he used to get hungry a lot, sometimes to the point of being unpleasant. Hence the word hangry.

He would leave parties we were at to go back to our apartment and have a “hangwich“ which was a giant sandwich that pretty much used all the lunch meat we had in the fridge.

Can we ban a phrase? I am sick and tired of hearing every Gosh darn person in retail telling me to "Have a good one". What is that supposed to refer to? What is a "good one"? A good beer? A good pair of nuggs? what am I supposed to have? I would rather hear a clerk say, "Thank you and I hope you smash your nut sack when you shut your car door, oh and have a good one"......

People that use “speaking my truth” when “my opinion” is more concise and precise.

Usually I am so far out of touch that when I hear of a new trendy phrase, it is no longer trendy. However, when did “a minute” come to mean “a long time?”
