Ask Lemmy

Not a quote, just a single word that's overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word...

"Woke"

Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!

"If you know, you know"

"think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that"

So heavily overused.

"I took the road less traveled." Which in the original poem means pretty much the opposite of what people are trying to say.

That trickle-down economics quote. There's studies about it [not working] published but it's just studies.

The original quote is "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows" from Galbraith.

I imagine people are not yet ready to learn this "promise" ain't holding water.

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"

You do realise that people who are awake during the night are of equal importance, who's gonna run those power plants and radio stations and petrol service stations and police forces and whatever else? If they shut off during the night, there'd be chaos. At least a chaos that most folks won't see because they're asleep or something.

"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" -stupid monkeys

"Settled science." Used by people who don't understand that science at its heart is constantly questioning everything.

"Blood is thicker than water" followed by the equally erroneous "covenant" explanation.

We need to be like Amazon and hyper focus on the customer

"You must be funny at parties"

Specially if you're not around, bitch

640k ought to be enough for anyone.

Bill Gates didn't even say it. And even if one only takes the spirit out of that quote whereupon software and hardware should be planned with foresight, it's so overused.
