I see these all too often when I read business/political news. They are especially prevalent in online forum discussions and political speeches. They betray a lack of rhetorical skill that may also imply a broader lack of creativity and intellect.
"Shore up the economy"
"Quick study"
"Chickens come home to roost."
"Boots on the ground" - in reference to Iraq/Afghanistan usually
"That's an X, if I've ever seen one."
More to be added.
