Most overused phrases in photography?

my Einsteins are on back-order...
or any variation of the phrase.

How about

"Einsteins are out of stock"

PCB needs to pull his head out

"I only shoot Manual"
"L" typed in red.
"Bokeh"

Ditto to what tkb just said, as well. It's so fun to vent!

"You should send it in" or "You should send it to Canon" (or any other variation) when the fault more often than not is user error that's the problem.

"User error" where the problem is with the camera!

but i paid for this expensive camera, now my pics are supposed to be better!!

"It's the person behind the camera that counts" has got to be the most annoying in my opinion.

LOL....but it is so true!

"I just pulled the trigger..."

Shame someone wasn't pointing the thing at you.

Google doesn't like their name being used as a verb, either.

I need to google some photoshopped pics and make some xeroxes, but maybe later as I have a cold and need to find some kleenexes first then have a coke.

Lol, just like how Reagan coined "party" as a verb! I wonder if I can lightroom some of my photos later. Come on, that magazine photo is sooooo lightroomed!

Just a couple "quick shots"

Just a couple "quick shots". C&C welcome!

It really really irks me when people post a bunch of pictures of cool things (this is usually the transportation forum) but the photo itself isn't particularly artistic. Art should tell a story or convey an emotion or something, you know? It needs some drama, some passion... so you found a cool car, great, but show me what it feels like, not just that it exists. IMO this is the difference between a "photo" and a "snapshot" and it's annoying when one is used as the other.

Long-winded but there 'ya go.

Wonder why new guys are reluctant to post their work here, take a look at the last few posts.

Sheesh.

The phrase I hate the most is "I prefer my shots straight out of the camera." It's usually used by a beginner who has no idea how to use any PP program and is trying to justify their lack of knowledge.

"Gripped" is another one that gets on my nerves. As if buying a battery grip for your camera produces better shots.

"Upgrade to ..." especially when comparing cropped to full frame cameras. It's just full frame snobbery to me.
