Guess people have to say something whether sincere or not (like "thank you for your service" when encountering a military person). Simply staying silent does not go over at all. But "at the end of the day" (the phrase that causes my neck hair to rise), it doesn't much matter does it? Btw, say whatever you want to me...just don't end a statement with that "question" inflection. Have a nice day.

That's old. It has evolved into "Have a GREAT day" If it was someone you may never meet again, "Have A Nice Life" would be more appropriate. I had an Ex who would yell that at me, on our various break-ups. Kind of her to wish me well.

I worked with a Kiwi woman who used to say 'no wuckers' to everyone, I'm sure she had no idea of where that came from, 'No F#####g Worries' apply a spoonerism 'no wucking furries' then shorten.
Was embarrassing to be in her presence even though we explained what it meant.
When I conducted psychological assessments on villains I could say what I wanted, my show, I am right and you are wrong, that's why you are in jail, I'm on a winner.
Of course there is a down side, my Brother gets a variety of single malts from his clients at Christmas, he is a civil engineer, if I got something from my clients I would be afraid that it would be poisoned or explode.

Hows it going?

"Livin' the dream' or 'same **** different day'.


This I just heard by chance as I was walking past the television, Uncle Phil, or something was advertising. I have no more to say about it, do not wish to consider it any further, it hurts my brain when I hear such things.

"I was so flustrated that he wouldn't conversate me."


Now for fun, I have used:

Store person: Hey there, hows it goin'
Me: Not so well if you must know.
SP: Sorry to hear that, can I help you with anything?
Me: Sure, You got a hundred bucks I can have?
SP: Ummm, ahhh, urrgh
Me: Oh well, never mind that. Can I borrow your car?

Then there is the elevator situation:

Me: Waiting for elevator.
Suit: Comes up, presses button for elevator.
Me: Excuse me, what was that?
Suit: Ummm what, pressing the button for the elevator?
Me: Ahhhhh. So that's the secret...

My favorite, at Fast Food drive up.
Spkr: Can I help you?
Me: You sure can. I'm a little confused but give me a second.
Me: Ready?
Spkr: Yes Sir.
Me. Okay, I'd like a Whopper, 2-McBigMacs, a Winky Fish and 4 Chocolate Frosties.
Spkr: I'm sorry sir, this is Burger King.
Me: Oh yea the King. Let's see, A King, Queen, Jack, Joker(clown), and the smiley freckled girl. Now the King can't make the Jokers Food, the Joker can't make his own food, the Queen disdains them all, and the little girl just keeps making that freaky smile like she knows some secret the rest don't.
Spkr: Ummm what? No No sir, B-u-r-g-e-r King.
Me: Okay yea sure. So, that's Two Jumpy Jacks, One of those square burgers, One Queen plate, Three Curly Frys, and 4 McFrosties chocolate flavored.

Apologies to OP, I kinda ran off the rails. :D :p

OMG! You're cracking me up! I love an intellectual approach to a situation created by Cretins.

I feel tempted to give a medical rundown of ailments when someone asks 'how are you'.
And Drs with their trick questions, 'how are you', invariably we reply in the affirmative then you wonder why.

I just have to roll my eyes, when in a check out line and the clerk asks someone "How are you" and the response is "Fine Thank You, How Are You?", being, extra polite. Why stop there? Why not have even more meaningless parrot-like talk?.

"Know what I'm sayin "

People that say that phrase, usually say it at every pause.
Makes my head explode!

Ever wanted to attack a stranger that won't stop using "like"?

Another popular saying is "Literally". Few (if any) use the word in the proper context and you hear it everywhere.
