"Deeply sorry".
I am sick and tired of every yutz getting in front of a camera because he cheated on his wife, lied to the Public, the company did something that resulted in disaster, etc. etc. etc. and the public apology always contains, "...deeply sorry".

"Honestly ..."
This is such a self-incriminating phrase, I wonder why people even use it. "Normally I'd just lie to you, but this time I'll tell you the truth".

I've noticed that I make a lot of transitional phrases.
Some more common transitions I've used in the past:
Honestly
The thing is
Really
Well
In short
Actually
Basically
To be fair
Truly
Interestingly
"At the end of the day..."
Ok *holds hands up*, bearing in mind it was early in the morning and we're trying to alternate meat and fish for the cat, K'Eh calls out to Son "Is a duck a fish?" ~ well in my defence a duck spends a lot of time around water!
Balancing that with the old codgers that come up to the golf club coffee bar and ask for 4 black coffees, 3 with milk.
"Would that be 3 white coffees and a black one then gentlemen?"
"Um... Yes please"
I swear they think we charge them for the milk

You know something, K'eh? I have the strangest feeling that we've had this exact conversation before...

Another one from the land of Wal-Mart.
One day I was handling some frozen food, and a coworker told me I had better hurry or else it would unthaw. When I explained to her that the word she meant was thaw, she told me that thaw and unthaw should mean the same thing. I asked her if locks a door and then unlocks a door, did she do the exact same action twice?
Then she told me to shut up.

I swear to you that in OKC, Channel 4 meteorologist Mike Morgan has stated in his forecast that ice would "unfreeze" and make roads slick.
I looked at my then-wife and asked, "Does he not know the word "thaw"?
She gave me a dirty look
Sorry if I was being flippant. My intent certainly wasn't to insult or offend.

I'm with you on this.
We had a thread like this a few months ago ( I remember you posting in it) and I seem to recall Astro Smurf having some things that he found obvious being quite esoteric, in my opinion.
Try to be a little objective people. If you work tech support...not everyone knows what kind of thingamajig goes with which whatchamacallit.
