Lessons will be learnt.

Usually said in statements after someone has cocked up big time, to try and make it seem we're some how going to benefit from the wrong doing.

 Yes, I hate that phrase too! And the word “ unprecedented”

Others for me are

 “ I’m not going to lie, but …”
“No offence, but “….
When the word “ super” is used over and over
People that say “ okay “ multiple times.
Tons more, but brain can’t remember right now  ;D

Oh yes, 'super' is one for me too. Super busy, etc. I don't know where all these new ways of using words comes from but they spread through YouTubers. I don't hear real people using them day to day. Apart from 'you guys'   ::)
