I never ask a female if she is going to have a baby because she might not be. Just retaining water.

I caught myself saying

“At the end of the day...”

the other day. I read somewhere that phrase is also on the “No” list.

Along with the world’s worst phrase:

“Whatever”.

no, dear soul, the correct answer to the question “does this make me look fat?” is as follows:
“i am too blinded by your awesome and radiant beauty to know the answer to that question, darling.”

Boobs!!!????

Now we shouldn’t say boobs??

Forgetaboutit. I have cleaned up my language a great deal over the years, but boobs is staying. Heck, I might even start using it even more now.

Sorry, but I refuse to go back to nummy-nums. ;>)

The “c” word is the worst and I have only used that word when referring to Pelosi and only when I am all alone in the house.... that vile word will get you killed.

Boobs, boobs, boobs...... boobs is what makes the world go around.

Were it not for boobs, we would all be dead.

I would never get away with that.

I remember one time my wife wanted to have an argument, over what and why was never really clear to me. Her eyes were glowing red, you could light shining out of her ears and the pores on her scalp. He was beating me on the chest with her tiny little fists, yelling “What do you say to that! What do you say to that?”

At a loss for an answer, I held her shoulders gently in my arms, looked into her eyes and replied, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more temperate and more fair.” Game, set, match to Lonesome.

I think we should stop incorporating the word “incorporate” in sentences where the words mix, blend, meld or add will suffice.

Never use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice

You have that set as a function-key macro, don't you?

In my brain.

If you pull that, right there.... no, lower...."I'd hit it".... there, you found it.

Either you ARE Michael Medved
OR you have been listening to him.

BTW... A preposition is a word
you never end a sentence WITH.

“Let me be clear...”

I agree with your distaste for the terminology in question.

And let me be perfectly honest when I say so.

(In other words, I haven't been honest before!)
