As I get into the Mac Web (news and rumor sites) more and more, I recognize more and more phrases used over and over. Here are some:
“We’ll just have to wait and see.”
“Dear Apple, “
“Take it with a grain of salt”
“Today Apple quietly...”
“Enough said” <--That is my absolute least favorite. 
Any more to be added?

"It just works." [ No it f**king doesn't.]
"The Finder sucks."
"The Finder blows."
"My god, the Finder is so f**king slow."
"Jeezus H. Christ, the Finder is slow."
"Why is the Finder such a piece of crap?"
"When will Apple fix the f**king Finder?"
"Anyone still miss OS 9?"
"WTF?" [I use this one all the time.]

We'll just have to wait and see how this thread turns out, because personally, I think it will totally suck. That's just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
Enough said.

"That said..." And I'm guilty of using it a lot. Quite a bad habit, I'm afraid.
But that's just my 2¢ worth  sorry stukdog!

"I'd hit it"
Anyone who says "I'd hit it" deserves to get hit, with a baseball bat.
If you're dorky enough to say "I'd hit it", then chances are good that hell would freeze over before "that woman" would sleep with you.

The dreaded - "X", "Panther", "Tiger" and all their other attempts to make an operating system seem exciting. They've outdone themselves with "Mighty Mouse"...

I've always had a soft spot for the ol' "Ha Ha" picture. It would be somewhat funny if it made a surprise appearance here, in this very thread which curses it so.

My friend recently said he hates the phrase "In a daring move, Steve Jobs...."
Honestly, do you think Steve doesn't calculate out his moves first?
Which reminds me, everyone referes to Steve as Steve as if they are beer buddies.
