We all get it wrong sometimes and end up saying stupid words, it's inevitable, but smart people tend to be more careful when it comes to the phrases they use, because they know that by using certain phrases they will lower their intelligence.
Writer Harley Manson said, in a report published by the American "awareness act" website, that intelligent people realize that words are powerful and cannot be withdrawn simply by uttering them, and they also understand that the words we choose can affect the way others perceive us, and if If your image is based on your intelligence, you should be careful to avoid using phrases that make you look stupid.
I am intelligent
Smart people don't brag about how smart they are because they understand that actions speak louder than words. Intelligence comes in many different forms, and because someone is not at your level, that doesn't make them any less intelligent than you.
it goes without saying
When you start a sentence by indicating that it is unnecessary, you invite others to stop listening to you, smart people are too wise to use self-deprecating introductions in their sentences and shy away from them at all costs.
I don't mean to offend but
When this phrase is used, it means that you are asking the other person to attend because they will be offended, and most of the time, the person you are talking to understands this, try to avoid this phrase and find a better way to talk to others if you feel that what you are saying is offensive .

I can't do this
When we tell ourselves we can't do something, we instantly prepare ourselves for failure. Our words become absolute truth to our brains and then become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of saying "I can't", try to find a way to change it to "I can."
This is not my fault
Instead of playing the victim, the intelligent will take responsibility for the situation and the outcome. Intelligent people do not deny failure but learn from it to change paths and continue working towards their goals.
Even when they are not completely wrong, they accept their role in the problem and move on.
this is not fair
Life isn't fair, but when you say that phrase, it makes it sound like you think it should be, which in turn makes you look like you lack intelligence and maturity.
This statement goes along with "It's not my fault", because it dissipates your ability to change the situation. Instead of complaining that things aren't fair, try to find a way to adapt and overcome the obstacle.
You.. who you are..!
The author mentioned some examples of the uses of this formula, including "You are too strong to be a woman!"
or "You're too nice to be a man!".
Using statements like this instantly makes you seem unintelligent because you are governed by stereotypes. Stereotypes assume that all people who are physically the same or belong to a certain class of people are all subject to the same habits, behaviors and appearances, and this is simply not the way the world works.

I do not care
Intelligent people are so caring and empathetic, they don't use phrases like "whatever!"
or "I don't care," instead they approach their affairs with empathy and compassion and acknowledge the sensibilities of others.
look..
Smart people understand that making rude comments like “you look older” or “you look fat” does more harm than good, and instead of pointing out how bad someone looks, try to see if they are okay.
This must be perfect
The writer pointed out that perfection does not exist, and smart people understand this, and there is nothing wrong with striving for excellence, but if you try to reach a level that cannot be reached, you are sabotaging yourself from the start.
The smart will understand that
When you imply that other people around you are stupid for not understanding you, you end up making yourself look stupid.
Everyone is doing it
The writer remembers her mother telling her when she was young, “If everyone jumps off a bridge, will you do that too?” And although it’s a cliché it still often holds true today. If all the other people were doing something, maybe you should Reluctance to follow suit, intelligent people understand that it takes intelligence to question trends and the motives of the herd.
