A Couple of Inane Expressions

A couple of inane expressions that set my teeth on edge are:

Gotta Love It

No, I don't. Ultimately, I don't "have to" do anything but die when my time comes. Telling me I "gotta" do something brings out my perverse contrary nature and I'll be determined NOT to do whatever it is that I "gotta" do.

Just For You

This phrase is one I commonly see in advertisements. "Savings Just For You", "A New Burger Just For You", etc. A local department store has a jingle that goes, "Everything We Do At Belk's is All For You."

Really? If I dropped off the face of the Earth, would you go out of business?

I think not.
