Here are some sayings that need to go. And before you get all mad and need to calm down over a glass of wine, I admit that I catch myself saying them and even annoy myself.

1. Anything “Karen”.

Leave Karens alone already. Go ahead, start calling the women who want to see a manager “Tiffany”. I like a lot of Karens, so I’ll take the fall. I got you, Karen ✌️

2. Not all heroes wear capes.

So. Over. Done. Biff and I play a game to come up with any other saying we can use other than that. My favorite (as far as the family-friendly versions go) is, “Not all heroes change their clothes in a phone booth.”

3. Coffee

I need coffee. So much coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee has been around since the dawn of time. Why is it so de regueur now? I can just imagine coal miners in the 1800s sitting over a fire heating up their kettle of Maxwell House:

“Ugh, so tired Wilbur. I’ve been up since 2am. Give me all the coffee!”

“I know Samuel! Eula had me up since 1:30am. I need a coffee IV stat!” 🔥 ☕️ 😂

I get it. I need at least one cup a day so I don’t have a massive headache by 4pm. But let’s get a new “thing”. Drugs, perhaps? (I kid, I kid.)

4. Wine

Like coffee, I love it, but enough already. I admit this one is because I’m jealous of wine drinkers.

I had to switch to the hard stuff because I discovered I’m probably allergic to wine. It took me about 10 years and a gross, recurring rash ON MY FACE 😫 to realize wine was the culprit.

Now my skin is as smooth as a baby’s ass so I’m never going back. But please people, stop rubbing my finally clear-skinned face in it! 🍷😫

5. Same

Also known as the new (but now old and tired) version of “I agree”.

For example:

Woman A: “Ugh! Look at that Karen over there. She needs to stop asking for a manager and just drink a glass of wine! Come on, let’s go, I’ve been up since 6am, I need all the coffee!”

Woman B: “Same.”

This is the one I fell victim to the most because it’s so cute. But when you find yourself wanting to punch yourself in the face after it slips from your lips, you know it needs to go.

6. Basic

I can’t help it, I use this one a lot. It just sums up so much. I actually feel basic when I call someone basic but I can’t stop!

Let’s start a new trend. Instead of calling someone basic let’s refer to boring, ordinary people as “fetch”, like “That’s so fetch!”

I don’t know. Something tells me that’s never going to happen. (So many people aren’t going to get that reference but I couldn’t resist 🤣)

So what do you think? Am I just being a “Tiffany”? or do you feel like this blog entry earned me a, “Not all heroes change their clothes in a phone booth.”?

Haha I ruin everything 😂
