    Here's the biggest cliché I have yet to understand:

    Boo-yah!!!

    Who the hell came up with such a boneheaded expression (I'm sure Cramer isn't smart enough to take the credit) and just what does it mean? LMAO

  3. 1- "Going forward"

    2- "At the margin"

    3- "Long term investors should be buying this selloff"

    4- "It's too late to sell here (heard during the tech crash, Enron, Worldcom, Wachovia, Bear Stearns, Lehman, Countrywide, etc, etc, etc)

    5- "Invest like Warren Buffet" (as if the average joe can get sweetheart deals like Warren did with Goldman, GE, etc).

  6. It was a random knucklehead that said it to Cramer and it just stuck. Nothing more. It's part of our culture whether it makes any sense or not. Sometimes I think people just call to say it and shout out to their friends.
