The latest cliche word that gags me when I hear it: "Conversation" |
|
I first noticed the overuse of the word by that morning gasbag, Dillon/Dylan/Dullard Rattigan/Raddigun/Raglan. Now I am hearing it more and more from teevee commentators, pundits, new readers, spinners, celebrity spokesmodels, etc.
Please stop using the word. When you do, you sound like every other dumb ass who is using it.
If you can't avoid using it, try "Baa baa baa".
Its easier to spell.

2. I don't listen to most of them, |
|
so I haven't noticed that one.
It's replacing "parameter" and "meme"?
Wait until they stop with "under the bus."
These people do to the language what Rick Santorum was afraid he'd want to do to the dog.......................

4. cringed when I heard Hillary use it last year in her intro...overwhelmingly agree |
|
But the phrase that really gets me is 'at the end of the day...'
