Is there any way to add "1, 2, cha cha cha" to the list of banned words or phrases? When it starts to get used in practically every other post, apparently to hide the inability to articulate even a simple thought, then the sheer agony of hearing it used over and over and over and over, should be enough to get it on the 'banned list'. Remember how we used to use this tactic as kids to shout another kid down. Since we had no counter-argument (too dumb or too inarticulate), we'd just shout out some gobbledygook. Reminds me a lot of that. In the meantime, we can assign 'idiot points', 1 for each time the phrase is used (2 if it wasn't your phrase to begin with). After accumulating 10 points, the abuser would have to take a mandatory class in "Life without Cliche's".
