Whenever I hear a good example

I usually never use that turn of phrase myself. Actually, I don't
think I've heard it before, but I like it.

("Usually always" is actually one of my favourites because of what it
shows about how the users are conceptualizing "always" -- to mean "as
a rule" rather "without exception." This seems to be a parallel sort
of example.)
