People may not use the verbs unfold or obsess in my presence, they are entirely overused.
I used to dislike the expressions you cite because I associated them with schoolyard bullies. Now I associate them with kind working-class people. If I taught freshmen, I would associate them with the uncouth, gum-chewing, Vegas-going crowd.
