Phrases I never want to hear again

After this election mercifully comes to an end, and dear God why can't it be now, there are certain things I never want spoken of again in politics. They have become trite, overused, and meaningless. Anyone who uses them after November should be cemented into a pine coffin and buried 10 feet deep or catapulted into the side of a mountain. Use of these words will be punishable offenses in our new American, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Henceforth, the list:

game changer
maverick
my friends
straight talk
fundamental difference
change we can/cannot believe in
Main Street
metric
hockey mom
country first
stinking corpse
team of mavericks
existential threat
drill baby drill
reaching across the aisle
reach around
hope
in the tank
taking the gloves off/putting the gloves on/jerking off into a glove you warmed in the oven
