| I had to chuckle at the article because it seems others besides myself find Guy's term "That's money" truly annoying. I don't dislike him; just that phrase he seems to use ad infinitum. (Not the topic at hand here but the way he wears his sunglasses backwards - also annoying. Yes, Guy, we all know how cool you are.)
I think my all-time favorite on the hit list of phrases is when a chef/host will say "Now here's what we're gonna do." A variation is "What we're gonna do is...." And then there's Emeril, who grossly misuses it with his combo of "Now here's what we're gonna do. What we're gonna do is..." I say just shut up and do it. He always seems at such a loss for words that when he opens his mouth even he doesn't know what's going to come out.
Ol' Rach has one; "Everybody in the hot tub", when she's adding ingredients to a pot. Variations are, "Everybody in the pool" or "Everybody in the hot tub/pool, kids." I stopped dead in my tracks the day I heard Tyler utter "Everybody in the pool". I heard another chef use that term recently as well but I can't recall now who it was. (Old age - it sucks.) Things are getting pretty bad when you hear seasoned chefs using RR's colloquialisms.
