There is another thread "these phrases need to go away" and also "In movies don't you just hate it when.."
The above mentioned saying came up and it continues to come up.
SO, instead of just posting 'alerts' I decided to start a thread dedicated to the eradication of this heinous and seemingly indestructible trope.

Feel free to contribute
thanks

Im sure there was one i saw in old episodes of both Unforgettable and The Closer recently.

Undoubtedly it was NCIS st some point.

There is also another alternate Version of this starting to creep in. Where a cop who is down the pecking order in a department says "Dont look at me, its above my pay grade!"

I'd point out the flaws in your logic regarding that expression, but it's above your pay grade.

A military trope, apparently, and one used to explain what cannot be explained.

It's generally used to indicate that you don't have a "need to know" why things are being done the way they are being done.

In Mr. Marshall's case, he has never had the "need to know" because it's all, all of it "above his pay grade".

I always read "above your gay parade" when I see this heading.

Seems like I have been too long at the FSM board...

The phrase has a certain concise functionality. It can stay.
