Happy Thanksgiving!   What overused terms/expressions do you see here on 11W that you find annoying or at least tiresome? Here are some of mine:

#1 "Generational Talent" - this one could be interesting if it wasn't applied to numerous players and prospects Every. Single. Year.  Kind of defeats the whole concept IMO.

#2   "Takes Poor Angles" - Seems like a great all-purpose way to criticize DBs/LBs and make you sound like you know a lot about football.  Or are people trying to suggest they are passionate about Trigonometric Functions and Calculus?

#3 "Generational Wealth" - little brother to #1, and simply overused.  Maybe going out on a limb here, but while you can get a pretty nice chunk of change from it (and well done!), start-up kombucha companies are rarely going to yield this.  Regardless this one gets thrown around all the time as well.

What other terms are do you find overused, annoying, misrepresentative, etc.?  This is pretty free form.
