One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?
"Autistic people lack empathy"
Wierd how the fact that a group of people don't see the world as you do makes then somehow inferior and deficient, huh?
"[Thing] is a game changer!"
Almost always used in the context of brand-speak/commercial marketing. What's the game, guys? Corporate propaganda? Cause no, using an app to book a handyman that pays to be advertised on your service, or buying microplastic encapsulated detergent is not a goddamn "game changer" for anyone, besides the shareholders.
Whatever doesn't kill you only prolongs the inevitable!
some people I work with got to saying “1000%” when asked “would it be possible to…?”. Are you gonna give them 10 of everything they ask for??
"Collectivist society" and "Individualist society"
"You miss every shot you don't take!" or similar. It's useless, makes no sense, and is disrespectful to yourself and others.
Which is why I love saying it to pricks at work.
“Religion is a personal choice.”
Rarely is that true.
