Last week, as I waited in line to enter the Steve Jobs Keynote at Macworld, it was sure fun to people watch and eavesdrop on the conversations happening around me. I realized just how much all of us Mac users visit the same sites and read the same posts. Since we were all waiting for what would be revealed at the keynote, all the conversations were about different rumors and guesses they have read. I smiled knowing that it was quite possible that someone was quoting a blog post that was written by someone else in that same room.

The one thing that really was interesting to me was just how much the Mac conversations sound like the comments and discussions that are online. The conversations were peppered with cliches and phrases that we see everywhere online.

With that intro, I present:

The Five Most Overused Phrases on the Mac Web

1. “we’ll just have to wait and see“
2. “Today, Apple quietly…“- Whenever I read this, I wonder what people expect when little things are released. Maybe “Today, Apple lined up their engineers to wear banana hammocks and do backflips around the Infinite Loop so we are all aware that iCal has been updated to 2.1.”
3. “my two cents“
4. “In a daring move, Steve Jobs…“- At what point do the moves change from daring to wise? His track record has been pretty good lately.
5. “take it with a grain of salt“

Any more to add to this list?
