Maybe the fact that they have a grain of truth on them makes them even more annoying?

Some of them come across to me as so hokey that they go directly to my stomach. This doesn't take away from how true they are, but I'd rather do without them, thanks. The ones I most love to hate are:

"Stinkin' thinkin'"
"Pity pot" or "pity party"
"Fake it 'til you make it."
"Let go and let God."
"Turn your frown upside down."
"Go with the flow."

Oh, that's interesting. I just noticed what they all have in common, and spotted what bugs me. It's the alliteration! Why be cute about it? Just say it!

What's your opinion? Do any platitudes, expressions, proverbs, clichés, etc. get on your nerves?
