One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    “Trust me.”

    Most of the time those two words can be correctly replaced with “I believe you to be an irrational eager to swallow any crap smeared on its filthy snout.”

    (People who deserve your trust typically don’t evoke it.)
