Comment: A few more phrases that have died from overuse

In the early days of "i On Global Trends," I made a few posts complaining about the overuse of certain words and phrases. Here are a few more that have long since ceased to have the effect they once did.

* road map
* winning hearts and minds
* win, win situation
* not an option
* worst case scenario
* ball park figure
* walk the talk
* confidence deficit
* un-Australian

The road map to winning my heart and mind, is for politicians and business to stop using slogans and start walking the talk.
