Can we please replace the term "iconic" with respect to anything?

And, while we are at it, can we come up with something better than "I'm sorry, but..." followed by whatever we are probably NOT at all sorry about?

Your thoughts (or any other worn out phrases that need replacing)?

I’m sorry, but I find these iconic threads full of meaning and worthiness.

Thought it humorous to use iconic and I’m sorry at the same time after your post. 🙃

Anytime someone starts a sentence that way, whatever follows will be meant to cause offense.
