Nothing Burger?

Ok, I have recently posted my rant on what I feel are stupid sayings. The three I wrote about were, "Have a good one", "It is what it is" and "We don't know what we don't know". I never thought that I would have two more so soon. But, In the last few weeks I have heard these sayings so many time on the News that I feel like I could scream!

First, "There is no there, there". Really, how many theres are there in that saying? Do we really need a saying that has 5 words and three of which are the word there? How about, "There is a total lack of substance" or "Nothing of significance exists"?  There is only one there, there and it make sense!

Next, "It is a nothing-burger". I swear I have heard and read this saying more in the last few weeks than any other statement, ever. I know this saying started in the 1950s and it should have been left there, there! Oops sorry about that, that, lol. What does it mean? What is a nothing-burger? Is there a something-burger? It sounds stupid and very juvenile coming out of the mouths of every commentator and journalist that says it.  Urban dictionary gives the meaning as something, lame, dead-end, a dud, insignificant, pathetic or something that is over-hyped. Any of these alternatives would sound better spoken by an adult on a News show instead of nothing-burger. The nothing- burger is over done!

I'll have my nothing-burger rare with awesome sauce!
