I was happy as heck to see the phrase "Cowboy up" go. I have no idea
where it originated (nor any interest in learning), but was pleased
that it was less than a flash in the pan.
I totally missed that one. Just as happy I did.
I really hated "good to go" when I first was hearing it, but it doesn't
irritate me so much now. (When your first exposure is someone who is
saying it 10-20 times A DAY in your presence, most of them when you're
the only one around to hear, it gets old very quickly.)
For "my bad" I much prefer "my fault". Grammatically, it's a much
better construction.
I'm hearing "uh-oh" and "whoops" a lot now. :) But I can live with that.
