08:51 - "That's just wrong on SO many levels"

 (top)
I'm going to start charging a toll on people who deploy this meaningless, hackneyed phrase. It's as though people still think it conveys some kind of useful information or contributes to the group's discourse on some piece of observed oddness any more meaningfully than going, "That's... weird".

Better yet: if someone says this, I'm going to immediately turn to him and say, "Oh yeah? List some."
