Abundance of Caution

An irritating cliche, basically meaning to be very careful or to make certain of something.

Especially overused during the COVID-19 pandemic by administrators and other high-ups in organizations, but it can be used in everyday situations, as well (see below).
I feel pretty stoned, but out of an abundance of caution, I’m gonna take one more bong hit.”

Caution

This is not caution. I am a university professor. It is not a particularly cautious act/behavior to write vaguely disgusting and diachronic definitions of angels, wolves and migration on a public dictionary site that anyone could read. I like writing my autobiography in the form of Urban Dictionary definitions. This is not, as I said, caution.
Writing intensely personal definitions of futurity, modernity, you name it, on a public dictionary site that you will have no access to once you press send. To do this without caution.
