I don't think it's necessarily type related. I have an SEI friend who uses quips and often-used phrases all the time. Things like "sometimes there can be too much honesty" and "that must have been a load off your shoulders". Things that sound... unoriginal or something. Like he can't come up with his own metaphors or philosophies without borrowing these phrases. I dunno. But I doubt it's a type thing.

I know an ESE who uses annoying terminology, sometimes popular phrases and sometimes stuff he made up. Example: calling a pocket pc "the little guy" EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I used to know this guy who would use little phrases ALL THE TIME. The most common was, "Just between you, me, and the fencepost . . ." ALL THE TIME. Sometimes a conversation with him was basically a string of little phrases he liked to use with no actual point. It was frustrating.
Don't know if it's type related though. Just very annoying. Maybe the specific phrases are type related. Why knows.

I use little phrases all the time, even that same 'little guy/girl' thing for small objects or animals. Sometimes it annoys me too!
Moonlight will fall
Winter will end
Harvest will come
Your heart will mend
I use phrases sometimes too. I'm guessing most - if not all - people use them to some extent or another. It's a question of frequency. More frequent = more annoying.

If you were to type this phrase though.
"That isn't going ............. in a hurry."
What functions would you say it uses.
Are there other words in the "......." part? Or is it said just like that? Because that doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain the context?Originally Posted by ProcrastinateTomorrow

The Idea is to fill in the blanks. The first and the last part are always the same.
That isn't going anywhere in a hurry.
That isn't going to come out in a hurry.
