How about retiring “public servant”?

[ArrogantBustard]

Every time I hear “reach out to [somebody/something] I just want to hurl chunks of concrete at the person who said it.

[ichabod1]

The only times I’ve liked “reach out to” in the last ten years is when a) Tony Soprano would say it and 2) when Clay Morrow would say it on Sons of Anarchy.

It’s like a line on 30 Rock (apologies) when Jack said that he and some woman “were lovers” and Liz said, “oooh, I don’t like that word unless it’s surrounded by ‘meat’ and ‘pizza’.”

[al_c]

Add to that “any sentence that begins with ‘Well, I mean ...’”

[adorno]

How ‘bout...

“It’s for the children”.

Whatever government, or any entity does, affects us all. Besides, the children, for the most part, are taken care of by parents, and whatever is done should be done with the parents involved.

But, when something is done for the children, and it involves funding of any kind, some or all other groups, will have to be affected.
