"I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left" - Seasick Steve
"I'm not even kidding."
I dunno about elsewhere, but people always always say this around here. What is the purpose of the word "even" in this sentence!!? ARGH!

Quote:
I am the assassin, with tongue forged from eloquence
I am the assassin, providing your nemesis
On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend
Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend
No incantations of remorse, my friend
Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend
I am the assassin
Who decorates the scarf with the fugi knot
Who camouflaged emotion in a thousand yard stare
Who gouged the notches from the family tree
Who hypnotised the guilt in career rhythm trance
Assassing, assassing, assassing, assassing
Listen to the blade, feel the blade!
Listen as the syllables of slaughter cut with calm precision
Patterned frosty phrases rape your ears and sow the ice incision
Adjectives of annihilation
Bury the point beyond redemption
Venomous verbs of ruthless candour
Plagiarise assassins fervour
Apocalyptic alphabet casting spell
The creed of tempered diction
My friend, your friend the assassin
My friend, your friend the assassin
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
A friend in need is a friend that bleeds
Let bitter silence infect the wound
Let bitter silence infect the wound
I am the assassin, my friend
I am the assassin, my friend
I am the assassin, my friend
You were a sentimental mercenary in a free fire zone parading a hollywood conscience
You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish
Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success
A non com observer
I assassin the collector
Defector
So you resigned yourself to failure, my friend
And I emerged the chilling stranger, my friend
To eradicate the problem, my friend
Unsheathe the blade within the voice, within the voice
Within the voice, within the voice
I am the assassin, providing your nemesis
On the sacrificial altar to success, my friend
Unleash a stranger from a kiss, my friend
No incantations of remorse, my friend
Unsheathe the blade within the voice, my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend

"I have to take a ****"
Don't you usually leave a ****?

"All I know is..."
Yet somehow that phrase seems to precede something different every time.
And pretty much anytime someone starts a sentence with the word, "actually."

"That's unfair." No one over the age of 8 should use this phrase.
I'm not going to argue, but I'm right!
Edit Cause my first response was a Question, not a phrase...
"How do I get to the (insert floor # here) floor?"
You take the elevator or the stairs, genius.

"I could care less."
"So what do you know?" ---Don't know if it's used elsewhere, but is a greeting often used by native londoners.
Being a bit more specific would be nice.
"I'll give you something to cry about" ---Said to young kids already crying.
"Cheer up" ---Because that is going to work.
Like, totally and awesome seem to be over used a lot too.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I thought it was supposed to be "for all intents and purposes." Or perhaps you were just mocking that very thing.

Bingo.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
Not that it's a phrase, but I hate the word "remarkable" or "remarkably". They're redundant by nature and it's irritating.
