Sayings That Make You Cringe

“Oh, man You’re really pushing the envelope!”

What the hell does that even mean?

Or/

“I trust him about as far as I can throw him”

Did somebody from prison come up with that one?

Or/

“My name is Tucker…not Sucker.”

Do any of you know any sayings that just get under your skin?

I hate it when people say “it is what it is”,

Its always meant in a negative way.

Things aren’t set one way or the other.

You can always change “it”.
