Are ppl saying that now? I mean I've heard it but rarely. It feels very old fahioned to me.

add heartsick, brokenhearted
anything having to do with the state of one's own heart that is not literally about heart disease
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
I always liked the Germanic flavor of "heartsick" it's so radiantly non-Latinate! The Old English heortseoc actually meant literal heart disease but we ruined it

if you hear someone say awesomesauce it's only a matter of time before they say amazeballs. it's endearing at sufficient remove

I have experienced heartsickness/heartbrokenness, as the word is used in the emotional sense, not in a medical sense. It was during the time when our desperate struggle to take care of our daughter was reaching its nadir and the only apparent remedy that might bring anything resembling peace would be death, either mine or hers.
fwiw, it felt like a peculiar sensation more or less where the heart is located, somewhat behind the sternum, not quite an ache, but more a sense of painful loss and emptiness that rarely went away except in sleep. My physical heart muscle did not seem to be connected to it, other than sharing a similar space. Some weeks after I began to notice it, occurred to me that I was "heartbroken", a word that made perfect sense to me at the time. It still does.

exactly -- i'm not saying it's not real, just saying it's an overused and cheap cliche

I wrote a couple sonnets recently and it turns out all metaphors and most three-word phrases are cliches. :(

‘Shut the front door’ is associated with ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ because Guy Fieri says it more often than ‘flavortown’.
― suzy, Thursday, 21 June 2018 07:28 (six years ago) link
I picture Elaine saying it on Seinfeld. I’m glad I don't watch any Guy Fieri shows.

^ Yes! I'm certain that Elaine said it at least a couple times. I have no idea if it's old or not it just sounds like it is somehow.

We're probably getting into overly-prescriptive, distinctly 'my problem' territory here, but I keep hearing people at work say 'squash' when they mean 'quash' and it's driving me nuts.

Nobody actually says "quash." Everyone says "squash" instead.

I'm going to up the ante and start using 'squish' in the hopes that someone will tell me that, um, actually, it's 'squash'.

It's neutral enough on the face of it that it might've been a more innocuous phrase had it originated in another time, but in our current era it seems to have an inherently passive aggressive vibe.
