Most overused words and phrases in trading

[PlinytheTrader]

I guess this is more of the most annoying words/phrases instead of simply overused.

"there is no reason for this market to be going higher"
"I exited the trade in after-hours at break-even, but I forgot to post the trade"
"My proprietary signal is telling me its a buy/sell"
"If it goes against me I will simply roll the position up/down"
"I am not worried about my losing FX trades b/c my expertise is in options....don't mind my losses in options, my expertise is in futures...."

Being annoying on message boards is one thing, but to me, the absolute worst is when you meet D-Bag traders in real life who like to use "trading terms" in normal conversation.
"I'd hit the offer on that girl"
"I was bidding for some nachos at the bar"

I actually heard some kid in his early 20's last week bitch to his buddy "don't front run my game" when they were both trying to hit on a girl during happy hour.

"I am not worried about my losing FX trades b/c my expertise is in options....
don't mind my losses in options, my expertise is in futures...."

Then,

don't mind my losses in futures, my expertise in is FX.

don't mind my losses at all, my expertise is in SIM.

"Smart Money"

That one can go die in a fire.

Agreed, that's my all time most annoying phrase. Smart money is only smart in hindsight.

"You know we're at the top when your taxi driver (or dry cleaner, pizza guy, brother-in-law, etc.) starts giving you stock tips."

does that make it invalid?

I was guilty of this in my 20's. Looking back on it, I'm not proud about it.
