No, I have no issue with anyone "defocating" in public.

Someone taking a dump in public, though - yeah, that's offensive.

16. "If you don't like it in America, you need to move to France"
and similar sentiments. I haven't lived in American for years myself, but hearing (and reading) that shit still makes me want to punch something. What on earth has made these people think they have the right to tell other Americans that they need to get out of their own damn country?

Grrrr...

28. Homicide bomber
gunmen
settlers (as in the Gaza strip)
surviving Baathists
contractors (means mercenary killers)
In fact maybe we should just throw out the whole English vocabulary post 1900 and redo everything that's come up afterwards since the militarists and politicians of both parties have distorted the language so much. And meaning of previously existing words also.
Pro-life for instance.

47. Amen!
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 04:58 PM by Chovexani
(No pun intended)

To paraphrase my favorite philosopher, Chris Rock:

I'm tired of fundies. TIRED OF FUNDIES.

On edit: Every time I hear "God Bless America" I think of the very funny Chris Rock movie "Head of State", and fill in the rest.

God Bless America...and no place else.

36. Utilize.
I also hate:

*preborn. A term applied to the fetus, as though the mother had thoughtfully arranged it to be born in advance or something.

*liberation, liberated, or liberator, applied to any Bush foreign policy.

*compassionate conservative

*spreading freedom and democracy, when applied to any Bush foreign policy.

*obstructionist

with this one, every time some good stuff happens "how god is that!" (she really says god, not good.) She doesn't have anything similar for the bad stuff, so I offered her "may the Hammer of Thor smite thine enemies." She and Mrs ret88 both gave me a very nasty look.

41. LIKE!! The number one word for the mentally deficient.
Paradigm, meme, kewl, y'know, preemptive, sale, ...gate, awesome, balanced, traditional, patriot, patriotic, God Bless America, newkuler, wow, bi-partisan, healthy, smackdown, and many more.

But, endless repititions of "like" hurt my stomach.

49. A couple of old ones, dating back to the Watergate era:
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 05:05 PM by Raksha
"Let's put this behind us."
(Whatever scandal Republicans didn't want to deal with in the first place)

"The American people are tired of..."
(Whatever scandal Republicans think they should be tired of)

Oh yeah, and a couple of new ones:

"Freedom" and/or "democracy," but only when used by Shrub. I can't stand to hear him use those words because they have absolutely NO meaning coming from him.

I loved the Daily Show riff where Stephen Colbert said that the significance of Watergate was that it popularized the term "gate" -- i.e. Bay of Pigsgate, Teapot Domegate, Slaverygate, etc
