Slicing Bread ...

In the last 24 hours, I've heard the cliche "... the best thing since sliced bread" at least five times. Five years ago, it seemed novel. About 4.5 million usages later? Not so hot.

Apologies to all of you folks who love buttered toast or think PB&J is best thing since (i'm not saying it) George Washington Carver's birth. But when you think about it there have been a lot of things to come along since 1912, when Otto Frederick Rohwedder introduced the idea of sliced bread. Like, the Bill Gates and Microsoft. The Internet. Television. Color Television. Cable Television. Satelitte Television. The yellow first-down marker during NFL games on Television. Blogging. The Cell Phone. And finally the Plumbing System, just to name a few.

If I hear this phrase one more time, I think I might just throw a shoe at whoever says it. Be it the television or someone in person.

So aside from the aforementioned and "we're taking it one (day, game) at a time," give me some of the most overused, annoying cliches you've know.
