“”I’m still waiting for somebody,anybody to tell me what “Speaking truth to power” means. “”
Just like I’m waiting for somebody to explain what a “dog whistle” is... I’m so tired of these kooky, trendy euphemisms. It’s almost like our way of speaking English that we were raised with no longer exists - it belongs to some other breed.
AND fits right in with the people who no longer talk in sensible sentences - everything comes out like a question....horrible, irritating habit from so many news folks today! Like they’re reciting a Sunday School piece - in the days when that was done. Our mother used to say, “Don’t sing song” when we had to practice our “pieces” which is what they were called!
Shannon Bream has long been a non-irritating voice (at least to me) on FOX but today she does the same thing to where I can no longer stand the sound of her voice.
Also how about those who begin sentences or answers with SO? People have long asked their questions starting with SO - “SO what did you do on your vacation?” Now it’s - “What did you do on your vacation?” “SO I went to the ocean.”
We need some clever FR person to start a thread about our likes/dislikes/irritations etc. Too much negativity? Well, probably not anymore than we’re subjected to every time we log on....
Do we need a site just for us curmudgeons - anyone born before WWII? You started this by asking your question!!!!
