Verbiage

I just read the phrase "vote of confidence." I am tired of these words. I am tired of all phrases, like this one, that are recycled perpetually. This particular phrase seems to be used most often in sports, and that is exactly the context in which I just read them.

I have little tolerance of such hackneyed diction.

The one I hate is "have a good one." I cringe every time I hear this.

Yes, that is tiresome too.
