"to be honest with you"... "honestly"... "I gotta be honest with you'...."to be completely honest" etc Years ago I was stuck in a test drive of a car and the salesman had to have that phrase as a tic. The fact that one is announcing that they are not always honest is obviously stupid. Also, "I did my own research" means believing randos on the internet. "Sh*t the bed" is just gross. I go to family dental practice and the father, who I had been seeing for 40 years, has been stepping back as his son, a 30 something who has followed in his father's foot steps as a dentist, takes over. He, the son, used that expression to describe the condition of a tooth that had gone south. I wanted to smack him on the back of his head for sounding like a dope. To be honest with you I kinda like the expression "Sh*t the bed". But not when describing something in my mouth, lol.

"____________-challenged" as a euphemism to avoid making people feel sad/dissatisfied with themselves.
For example:
•"He's not 'obese', he's 'gravitationally-challenged'"
Hey, it can be a harsh world out there. Coddling peoples' insecurities only sets them up for greater disappointments later.

Regarding catchphrases like ‘to be honest with you’, I’m watching Gunsmoke from start to finish and every episode, Dylan says, “Let me tell you something“. Every…. episode…

Every…. episode… My father in law was good at delivering "Can I tell you something?", which meant "let me tell you something". Life lessons followed, lol.

This may be pushing the limits but it's really funny.
