The phrase 'we need to talk' needs to be eradicated and replaced.
'I need to talk' - because it is presumptuous to think that that the other person will also need to talk.
'I want to talk' - because really, does anyone ever NEED to talk? It is not exactly the same as needing a wee.
Better than this, how about just talking? Instead of announcing the fact that you've got something to say? You don't hear me announcing that I'm about the feed the fish, or text someone back. Conversation is not twitter.
That is all.
