check yourself before you wreck yourself...

...and your vocabulary...

2 things that I am going to refrain from uttering in 2009:

1) you know
do me a favour, the next time you're listening intently to someone speak, count in your head how many times he or she throws in 'you know' as a way to get from one sentence to another...
you know?
even while I type this, I've counted Kate Winslet throwing this down 3 times on Letterman.
have fun with it, try not to let it drive you batty...
*footnote: it is still acceptable to use 'you know' when combined with "what i'm sayin'"

2) it is what it is
i actually used to really like this one..., almost up there with 'jump the shark'.
but really, think about it...
it is the most meaningless shit you could spew out of your mouth.
it's simply an excuse of a phrase when you can't think of anything else to say.
you may as well just shrug your shoulders and throw a stupid ass smirk on your face.
just like this guy...
