Glenn Beck-isms
Self | November 12, 2009 | Self

Posted on 11/12/2009 10:16:57 AM PST by madison10

People have been picking them up. Even heard one on an ad a few days ago. Either I was living in a fog before, or Glenn Beck's phrases have become a part of our American lexicon.

Here are a few:

1. I'm just sayin' 2. Not so much... 3. Shut your piehole

Now I know those phrases were probably used somewhere in the country before. Maybe even on T.V. (which I don't watch often), but it's interesting to hear them picked up and used by people who wouldn't be caught dead using them if they thought they came from Mr. Beck.

I may be wrong, but I'm just sayin'...

LOL No, I’m not. See I told you I’d been living in a fog...well I don’t have any kids so maybe I missed out on all the phrases of the day.

All three are in the “Compendium Of Over-Used and Banished Phrases”. Beck is waaaaay behind the curve not plotting it.

Hmmmm...guess he’s so behind the curve that he’s ahead of it and the phrases have come back into overuse. ;)

Every radio DJ in Atlanta uses “not so much” to the point of being annoying. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did others adopt Beck’s quirky lines, or is Beck using current catch phrases.
