Also overused:

“at the end of the day”

“I’m old enough to remember when __” (and then speaker goes on to cite an event from the very recent past such as last week)

claiming B is A “on steroids”

Sorry, just venting about some of my language peeves.

Please vent some more. We need to clean up the language, and stem the ignorance evident in many of our current public pontificators.

I’m old enough to remember when “at the end of the day” was not often used. It is a lazy phrase, on steriods.
