<\/a><\/p>\n As you all know, Rachel Zoe is claiming<\/a> to have trademarked the words “I die” and “bananas,” in order to stop some t-shirt designer from making money off her. It’s okay with me, since I usually use the word banana as a singular noun. And I like to say “why can’t I just die?” rather than Rachel’s two word exclamation.<\/p>\n However, I’d like to announce that from now on, the expression What a Fucking Cunt is my trademark and may only be used accordingly. Just last night, I used the expression to describe Nick Harcourt, a guy who is probably not on your radar but is still a cunt nonetheless.<\/p>\n Did anyone get a little creeped out by my use of the word “radar” just now? I know it bothered me but I used it anyway. I am extremely sensitive to words and word usage, and luckily there is a German word for this trait, sprachgef\u00c3\u00bchl.<\/a> <\/em>It’s one of my favorite words, like neurasthenia.<\/em> <\/a><\/p>\n Lately, I’ve been annoyed by the word “epic” used to describe fashion, as in “Oh, that sweater is epic!” Ugh, is my first and second reaction. I want to hear “epic” in conjunction with “Gone with the Wind” or “Moby Dick,” not a fucking sweater. It’s making me sick just thinking about an epic sweater. Make it stop!<\/p>\n Recently, my articulate and argumentative Nephew Wolf<\/a> agreed with me that the word “grow” is annoying in its current usage as a transitive verb to describe business or government, like “We need to grow this economy.” It just sounds fucked up, doesn’t it? \u00a0 I was happy to find a usage guide<\/a> that agreed with me.<\/p>\n Have any words been bothering you lately? How are you feeling about “recessionista<\/a>” for example?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you all know, Rachel Zoe is claiming to have trademarked the words “I die” and “bananas,” in order to stop some t-shirt designer from making money off her.
