What general cliché in life are you completely burned out on and would like to see banned for life?
 Mike McCoy, WNCI: I absolutely hate “At the end of the day,” and the overuse of the word “pivot” when it comes to corporate-speak. I also hate “WOKE,” I have my own little acronym for that: WithOut Knowledge or Experience.
Jonathan Reed, WNOK: “It is what it is,” sounds hopeless and needs to be replaced by what really needs to be said. Like, “this situation is bull#%it and if I had better options available I would be out of this mofo.”
Fish Boy, WKRZ: “It is what it is,” because we all know that 90% of the time it really is not! Valentine, WBHT: “It is what it is!” OMG, kill me!
Chris Michaels, FM100: “Awesomesauce.” Toby Knapp, WASH: To pick one would be impossible but they usually start with the word HASHTAG or MAGICAL… Bob Patrick, WXLK: “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!” |
Java Joel, WAKS: “Letting callout totally dictate your radio station.” Can we ban that for life?
Jammer, WEZB: “At the end of the day.” Chris K, The End: I’m over, “I can’t even,” because you can. Jeremy Rice, WBLI: Trump! Rick Vaughn, Power 94.9: Brainstorm! I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing the word brainstorm again. I hate it when somebody says, ‘we need to brainstorm on this.”
Kobi, WNRW / WLGX: For me, “You don’t sound black on the radio.” What does black sound like?! and more a thought then anything for us as a collective group of DJs and those who think “you just go in and talk on the radio for four hours and go home.” Jimmy Steal, Power 106: “At the end of the day.” |
 Matt Johnson, KSLZ: “It is what it is.” What the eff does that mean? Nothing is the answer!
Sue O’Neil, WKSE: It’s number one at Alternative. It’s Shazamming. Kobe, WWHT: When people use the term “uber” as a superlative to describe something. Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: “Benefit of the doubt.” Yea I think I’ve had about enough of that one! Jeff Hurley, WLAN: I’m sick and tired of everyone having to have a personal brand.
Alex Tear, Y100: Brainstorm! Derrick “DC” Cole, WAEB: “It is what it is.” Just a general acceptance to whatever the situation is, implying you can’t change the outcome. I don’t accept that as an answer.

Mike McVay, Cumulus Media: “The future is now.” If it is NOW…it is the present.
Gina Gray, WERO: “Do as I say, and not as I do.”
Buster, WFLZ: “It is what it is” or anything tied to complacency.
Brian Michel, iHeartMedia / Atlanta: Being outraged by everything. It’s as if “outrage” is the new currency. Okay great, you’re offended. Now what? Be an adult and move on with your life.
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: #blessed. We’re all blessed. And you’re not any more blessed because of the photo you just posted.
Orlando, WLLD: Every cloud has a silver lining. No the HELL they don’t! Every cloud has dark days and storms. Silver linings are HARD to find! BTW, waking up early has never produced a worm, for this AM radio bird!Next Week’s Question Of The Week:
Lady Gaga and Aerosmith recently announced residency engagements in Las Vegas, what other Pop/Rock artists do you feel could pull off successful long-term residencies in Vegas?
