"Thought-Terminating Cliches"
Yeah I can get behind the others being thought enders but 'you only live once' it's a phrase I use unironically pretty frequently. Life is short and you should do whatever it is you want to do while you're here as long as it doesn't harm others.
I once heard them as “everlasting thought stoppers” and now I can’t call them anything else.
Ok so we have figured out this issue, now we just need to put together a list of counter-spells
I've always considered phrases like that, just giving up and not wanting to pursue talking about something because IDGAF.
But intelligent people have a definition for it. thought-terminating cliche. I just wanted to write that out so I remember it.
Considering what group this is, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone mention "not essential to your salvation".
