They left out "agenda" and "the blame game" !  :P


Oh, yes.. I'm almost as tired of the word agenda as of people who have one. As well as "issues." Next person who has issues is gonna get tissues from me.

Here are a couple I truly loathe:

"You (or he or she or someone or something else) rocks."

And the one we heard over and over is "the card."

The race card
The gender card
The elite card

Ack.

And I hate it when people use "Dude" too.

A personal dislike of mine, for obvious reasons, is "Geez Louise," followed closely by "Christ on a Crutch" and "Jesus H. Christ."

On the other hand, one of the more recent ones, which you sometimes see on LOLCat pictures, is "I see what you did there."

I like "blank is the new blank" if it's something so absurd it's funny. Like, I heard of someone saying they were vacationing in Minnesota in winter because "Cold is the new hot."

But not when it's used sincerely, as in, "50 is the new 40," or "Brown is the new black."





I like mine and I mean it seriously  :D"Straight is the new gay."

They take everything from us: hairstyles, clothing styles, piercings, tattoos. ... Don't give them that, too!

That's kind of the point actually.  :D

I also like:  "Men are the new women" - Men's bodies are objectified almost as much as women's, you just have to look at the Abercrombie & Fitch shopping bags  :o ; Jean-Paul Gaulthier has a complete line of make-up for men, including eye-liner & blush; Body image issues and the associated cases of eating disorders are growing among men.  etc..

Is there a way to say "I'm sorry" in Klingon, I wonder.

Jesus H Christ!

How do you do that, Jack? Use a special ceremonial knife to cut off a body part?!

HEY BRAD!!! I think that's you're cue to re-post the lyrics to "I'm Still a Guy."  :laugh:

Ah yes. The ugly side of metrosexuality. Which of course isn't a sexuality at all: its all style and no substance.

The whole scenario you describe is truly tragic.
