Fiscal cliff.
I don’t want to hear these words one more time. I used to think that “fiscal cliff” sounded like a painful and depraved sex act, but the amusement factor is long gone. Stop saying it! Whoever started it needs to die.
Also:
Push back
Double down
Middle class
Grover Norquist
John McCain
Taylor Swift
Lady Gaga
Which two words would you like to ban? In the spirit of Christmas, please share!
General Petraeus
Bobby Kristina
Chris Brown
nip slip
anal bleaching
duck face
and Mitch McConnell, although I love to mutter obscenities while imitating his voice.
I would also prefer not to see any more pictures of the royal couple shagging.
Chandy – YES, except for Bobby Kristina…is there a reality show about her? I’m sure I’ll agree once I’ve seen it.
Romeo – Oh god, Mitch McConnell, what a cunt. Cannot bear to here his name either.
donald trump
legitimate rape
black friday
(insert name here) kardashian
gluten free
job creators

i just realized that if turn off my tv I’ll never have to see/hear 99% of those words ever again…
also,
boob tube
Two little letters: OK. As in (nurse speaking to my dad in the hospital): “I’m going to give you your medication, OK?” “I’m going to change your gown, OK?”
David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nick Clegg.
Awesome sauce.
Global Recession
I find the jargon-y words politicians use over and over here in Australia have the same effect on me as nails on blackboard.
Back story
Moving forward
Working families
Carbon tax
Patchwork Economy
I was at a conference recently and someone said something and instead of saying something like ‘Let’s analyse that shall we’ the facilitator said ‘Let’s unpack the back story shall we.’ Sounds almost obscene. Arrggghh.
Well, I’m not informed enough to know any of the current annoying as hell two words, but I have some personal hated two words, if that’s okay, that I can throw in, that I would like to never ever ever hear again:
big butt
flat tire
vitreous detachment
insufficient funds
larger size
stress incontinence
jlynn – All horrible!!!
Suspended – But it’s less scary than ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’.
Jane – Hahahahahahaha! I would expect all the normal listeners to laugh hysterically.
Bevitron – Vitreous detachment is chilling. What about ‘uterine prolapse’?
“Pan fried” – to be seen on every menu and how else do you fry anything exept in a pan?!
Barack Obama
Gangnam Style
Lindsay Lohan
Now trending
Real housewives
Dont like:
game face
man up
flex up
stop drinking
dont stress
stop worrying
Do like:
top up?
have another
order in?
no worries
David – Do they mean, as opposed to deep-fried, which is a whole other thing? p.s. Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Barack Obama.
Sulky Kitten – Excellent choices.
Sam – “Don’t stress” is horrible. Man up and game face both make me want to punch someone.
I no longer fear ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change.’ I see them as the new religion; changing laws, creating wealth, fear and oppression.
The worlds weather systems have evolved since their inception. I live on a cold, damp Island called the UK which used to be tropical; Man did not cause this change but I’m sure he’d have worried about it if given a chance. So I’ve come to the conclusion, perhaps to quell any further worrying, that if we can’t stop natures changes, what makes us think we are powerful enough to create them?
I refuse to be bothered by it anymore. I started worrying back in the early 90’s when there was an O-zone deficiency and we were all going to fry. When was the last time you heard anything about the O-zone? Not since Jamiroquai told us we “better play it nature’s way or she will take it all away” and then proceeded to collect every fucking fuel hungry sports car he could lay his hands on. Fuck him, and “them.” I have enough to worry about, day to day, and I think it’s better for me to live in this moment’s worry than to add to it by worrying about what might never be in the future. Besides, I dream of warmer days 😉

SW- I’d intended to draw the line at two consecutive posts, since the number of phrases that grate on me is apparently infinite, but I regretted not including two of the worst late-nite tv offenders: “erectile dysfunction”, and “PELVIC PROLAPSE”.
Somehow “uterine prolapse” is even worse…
*word to the wise- do not google pelvic prolapse- you cannot unsee the images that come up in the first page of search results
Yep. Amazeballs. Fucking awful.
Austerity measures

Amazeballs doesn’t count I say it’s one word!
How about?
Ya right?

WE can.

I second “going forward”
Big-girl panties. Technically three words but I hate this phrase almost more than life itself.
I also hate adults in their thirties and forties who adopt teenage slang and use it well past its sell-by date.
