NEW YORK CITY ARCHIVES The Most Cliched Current Expression! Make It Stop!
by Michael Musto
The only good thing about this particular cliché is that it’s wiped away all the old ones, like:
“My bad”
“It’s all good”
“Narrative”
“Journey”
“Epic fail”
“Love your hair, hope you win”
And …
“Winning!”
But still, if I ever hear this one more time, I will rip my nipples off!
I’m talking about …
“Rock star!”
As in, “You’re such a rock star!”
Or “Jon Cryer’s a rock star!”
Or just (out of nowhere, apropos of nothing), “Rock star!”
Like most real rock stars, this term, I pray, will fall to its death from a hotel window.
