Phrases that bug you

'Going forward' or 'moving forward.' Someone I work closely with says this shit all the time, and I finally called him on it. I thanked him for essentially ruling time travel out...since there is no real possibility of 'going backward.'
Now I am getting locally famous for bitching at this guy for using inane language...everyone is coming up to me and grinning and using it as much as possible like it's cute.
Also: watching Luke Cage on Netflix: 'the streets' really annoys me. As in: 'he grew up on these streets.' Okay.

My boy got a ticket for Jay-walking. How can he be from the streets if he can't walk across them? We ain't got no flying shoes.

Luke Cage is fucking great.
"Always forward. Forward always."
When people use "actual" and then explain "because it was true".
Fuck off.
