“Like” as in starting a sentence (e.g. “Like this word is overused.”) Often used repetitively by athletes.
“Myself” as a substitute for “me” or “I” (e.g. “Please join myself in welcoming this deletion.”)
Nooo Problem! What’s wrong with “you’re welcome”?
When I hear someone say noo problem I classify them as low-life’s!
Agency as a verb.
Agency as a verb.
“Happy Holidays” needs to go away.
Sorry if no review disappointed you. Glad to see a Guy Clark fan out there to comment on that though. I first saw him in college in 1979 and have seen him probably a half dozen times since. He is one of the best songwriters ever (IMHO), though not as well known as he should be.
“Bad Actors” is a term I’ve seen countless times over the past year.
I wonder who made it up the hussein or the clinton camp.
I am sick to death of “news” readers who want to “break it down” or “unpackage it” or me.
Dreadful *tinny* sort of word. *SCREAM*
or me = for me
And it's an affected British-ism to agree with something by saying "spot on". Spot on, old bloke! Blimey!
The first time I heard “at the end of the day” was from some Brits I worked with back in the 1980s. It was their version of our “when all is said and done”.
The liberal “elite” of this country seemed to have picked it up because it sounded much more “classy”. Then again, I know liberals who would get viciously insulted by my British friend, but were too stupid to realize is because “his accent sounded so nice”. It did get us a couple contracts that I don’t think we might otherwise have got, so what the hey?
“The right (or wrong) side of history.”
History doesn’t have a right or wrong side. It just is. The future often judges the past, but it doesn’t live there.
“Thank You”
But in the way the hip dingbat girls now say it constantly, “THINK Yooooo.....”
Oh, and “he goes” has a synonym for “he said”. If he goes, “Whatever!”, then where is he now?
I used to do computer field service work in the 90’s and every business that i visited had frigging tools running around exclaiming “Absolutely” every other sentence.
Really drove me nuts..
Another one that’s starting to grate is “I see what you did there” and its variants.
You see what I did? Good for you. That’s the reason I did it. Now shut up.
“Going forward”
What’s the matter with “in the future”, or “down the road”? Hearing people reinvent the English language is getting tiresome.
So, like, at the end of the day, after all has been said and done, the take away is that, all that really matters is family.
