Sometimes, rather than talking for two hours straight trying to explain some esoteric concept, it’s easier just to reach for a simple catchphrase. And 2010 was a great year for catchphrases.
Now, I could spend 50,000 words explaining why this is so, or I could just say: “Love me, love my catchphrases” or “Catchphrase fever in the house!” or “2010: Talk to da catchphrase, mon!” (said in Jamaican accent to suggest marijuana abuse).
Here are the TOP TEN CATCHPHRASES OF 2010:
#10: “That’s not what your mom said”
#9: “My 401(k) took a real beating”
#8: “Amazing game last night, huh”
#7: “Golf … it’s not just for breakfast anymore”
#6: “Oh, why don’t you go fall down a Chilean mine shaft!”
#5: “Penny for your tweets …”
#4: “That’s not what your mom said again”
#3: “I guess it’s all the same in the end”
#2: “I want my country back”
#1: “Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery”
