"Anything is possible." - No, only possible things are possible.
"It's just my opinion." - Usually after their argument has been refuted.

"You've got your work cut out for you." A common way to describe a task that's especially difficult. Never understood why. I mean, it's already cut out for me, that's one less thing I gotta do.

"It is what it is"
Feels like trying to make "whatever" sound smarter.

"Brutally honest": an excuse to push shitty opinions as facts and be an asshole while feeling superior.

"And that's a good thing"- usually used by people who want their hot take to feel as it'll be a canon-defining moment for a fictional character when chances are it'll be forgotten in t minus one second of their article's publication.

“I could care less” So you do care then?
“The new album/video/whatever is being released just dropped” Dropped where? Pick it up then.
“I slept like a baby” You slept for a couple of hours, shat yourself, woke up screaming like a banshee, went back to sleep for a couple of hours, pissed yourself, woke up screaming like a banshee?
“Smash that like button” If I smash it, then it won’t work. I’ll just press it if it’s all the same.
“A stopped click is right twice a day” Meaning what exactly? What do you do with a broken clock? You replace it.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Getting shot in the leg may not kill you for example, but you'll likely be needing a cane to walk around for the rest of your life at best and at worst may have to have it removed.
Misery builds Character
It doesn't, it leaves you bitter and jaded.

It's less about an expression, but what really bothers me is when a word or phrase is hardly ever heard, then someone on TV starts using it, and then suddenly EVERYONE is using it (examples : "Bloviating" or "Discourse").
There's just a "Wait, when did everyone decide that this is a thing now?" energy to it.

"You think you're better than me?" - Usually from people with a chip on their shoulder or inferiority complex. Sometimes I just want to reply "Yes, I'm better than you because I actually have common sense."
Also, "That's dope." Just never got into that slang.

‘Do Better’ - extremely condescending and has never made anyone think twice about their opinions.
‘Educate yourself’ - I’m too lazy to construct my opinions into a reasonable argument

'Cap'..... moreso because I don't understand how that word became the "cool kids' way" to say lie. LOL

I can't stand the term 'Arm talent' when describing how good a QB is.
