Supernal. I know it was said on the other thread, but there was one GC talk (or maybe the whole conference, I mean, who pays enough attention to those things to remember?) when the word "supernal" was repeated almost every sentence.
Thee, thou, etc. It doesn't make you sound respectful, it makes you sound pretentious.
For and in behalf of
Telestial (not a word)
Helps (used as the plural of help, the noun. Not a valid usage)
Helpmeet
Women's/Men's Divine Roles
Preside
Middle initial usage. Or first initial and then middle name, like L. Tom Perry.
In my ward "across" was pronounced "acrosst." I don't know if that was a Mormon thing or not, though.
Edify
Magnify your calling
Persecution (and the associated complex)
Worthy
The reluctance to say "God" out loud, instead saying "the Lord" or "Heavenly Father"
Little factory

When the prophet speaks, the thinking has been done.
And it came to pass (sounds like a fart or bowel movement. Which makes sense, since I'm pretty sure Brother Joseph pulled the Book of Mormon out of his ass.)
My son started up with saying "Fetch" all the time. I asked him why he didnt just use the right word instead of a euphemism since everyone knew what he wanted to say anyway.
One of my biggest pet peeves is teh use of "Heavenly Father" and "Bishop" as proper nouns.
as in . . "I'm going to get my fortune told by Bishop today" instead of THE bishop.
Always makes me think of that cool character from Aliens WHO WAS ACTUALLY NAMED BISHOP.
Seriously why do they do that? It makes no grammatical sense and it doesnt make them sound cool or proper. . . ..
"attitude of gratitude" - I'm sure others probably use it, but it's a syrupy bunch of goo that usually is trying to get a person to be thankful for something the LDS Church is doing to abuse my time, money, or mind.
I find such cliches annoying, but they serve a purpose. When a real-world situation is getting complicated, trying, confusing, and scary, slogans and cliches can help a person to "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Several years back I went through a very painful marital separation (since reconciled), and all I could do for a while was to "Let go and let God."
Goll and sweet spirit. Ugh. They're even worse when you're in another country on the other side of the world from Utah and a local breaks those out. Utah-speak is an infectious disease.
Three expressions I hate. 1. "Modest is hottest." No it isn't. 2. "Fetch." I have no problem repeatedly correcting this misuse of a common term. 3. "So true." There are not any degrees of truth.

I guess it's not really a expression. But the pathetic sleepy way the general authorities talk every GC. Do they think that voice makes them sound more official or something?
No. BYU is not Jesus's University. It's the university of pretentious claims that their education can rival Ivy League schools-not even close. It's the university of meeting for breeding. It's the university of the most stuck-up, self important and socially rude people people this world traveler has ever met-aside from Utah-big box store customers who mostly graduated from BYU.
