A list of linguistic embarrassments

I recently read a list called, “The 10 Most Embarrassing Things I Used to Believe” on The Awl. Now, inspired by my current favourite writier/blogger/drinker Alex Balk, I create my own variation on this list:

The 5 Most Embarrassing Phrases I Used to Use
or My Sister Was Right, I Sounded Like an Idiot.

5.Mmm yeah burritos, yeah
4. Oh for Petey has sakes.
3. Oh my Cow to Betsey (I still say this, actually)
2. Shucks my bucks
1. Maroon 5 will be the next Beatles.
