Here's a political one...

"WE ARE AT THE CROSSROADS!"

Yeah. Uh-huh. That f**king crossroads again, for the 10 millionth time. :-)

Watch for it next election...any election.

And a piece of classic Americana: "We kicked butt!!!" (optional variant: "kicked ass"...equally moronic souding in either case.)

Business lines: "He/she dropped the ball" "Take the ball and run with it" "hot to trot" "bullshit"(information that isn't true or accurate) "Money talks, bullshit walks" and a host of others, I can't remember at the moment...most of them are either sexual, scatological, or have to do with sports...or all three of those simultaneously!

These expressions are evocative of the crass and wretched social values presently running this world. God help us all. Corny? Yes. Love 'em? No.
