Paradigm has definitely worn out its welcome. It and “dynamic” (used as a noun) should go into hiding for a while.
Reminds me of the rebroadcast interview on Michael Medved today. It was with a filmmaker who made documentary celebrating graffitti tags on public and private property.
He (or one of his supporting callers) said something along the lines “y’know, it shifts the paradigm and stuff”.
‘It and dynamic (used as a noun) should go into hiding for a while.’
Some of her Thighness’ favorites, i.e. “You know” and “actually,” should join “dynamic” in hiding.
For that matter, "dynamic" used as an adjective is wearing out its welcome.
