Chris Cillizza, author of the Washington Post’s ‘The Fix’ blog, had a wisdom tooth pulled this morning and decided to overshare. Pain loves company, we guess!

Novocaine applied…..

Other Twitter weren’t impressed with this epitome of TMI, or “too much information.”

@TheFix Holy shit! You're *tweeting* while getting a wisdom tooth pulled?? Really do not know what to say about that.

Buzzkill! What’s wrong with experiencing things in the company of Twitter?

Dude. RT @TheFix: The offending tooth. @ McPherson Square http://t.co/i2ksRUli

They were more impressed with his, perhaps novocaine-inspired, listing of worst and best current phrases.

.@TheFix continuing his long-running campaign against the phrase "it is what it is" today, with the aide of a little novocaine.

4th worst phrase in English language: "my bad" followed by "it's all good".

@michaelscherer @TheFix "See what I did there?" has to be moving into contention.

@TheFix You only say its best now because it hasn't been overused yet like the others you call "worst". Give it a year of everyone saying it

@TheFix Whatever. Haters like you gonna hate. It is what it is. #seewhatididthere 😉

Another addition: "True story." @TheFix Recap worst phrases: 1. It is what it is 2. Haters gonna hate 3. See what I did there.

@TheFix What about "Oh, snap!"?

Gasp!

For those asking, yes there is a correlation between my wisdom tooth coming out and my riffs about worst phrases. Look, it is what it is.

— Chris Cillizza (@TheFix) June 22, 2012

Where does TMI stand on your list, Chris? See what we did there? 😉 True story.
