Not So Much

While looking for something to write about today, I finally came around this 2005's Most Annoying Phrases. For those who don't want to click the link here they are:

Words Lake Superior State has banished "for mis-use,
over-use and general uselessness":

Surreal
Hunker down
Person of interest
Community of learners
Up-or-down vote
Breaking news
Designer breed
FEMA
First-time caller
Pass the savings on to you!
97% fat-free
An accident that didn't have to happen
Junk science
Git-r-done
Dawg
Talking points
Holiday tree

Now, some of these I never heard, like; "Up-or-down vote" and "Community of learners". Community of learners? What the hell is that? Is it school go-ers? Who knows. I will have to agree with "Holiday Tree" and "Git-r-done". I live in Florida, I have been hearing that for more years then Larry the Cable guy has been saying it. Again, because of Florida, I've heard "Hunker Down" to many times. The outstanding people us Floridians are created a drinking game in which ever time you heard "Hunker Down", you take a drink. I would be drunk ten minutes into the weather broadcast. (It probably didn't help that I was switching channels so much).

"Holiday Tree" is a price of crap. It is a fucking Christmas Tree. And you know how I know that? During Hanukkah, you do not put up a tree and decorated it. Its not part of tradition. If we are going to call it a "Holiday Tree" Then we will call the Menorah a "Holiday Candle holder" I'm not taking anything from the Jewish faith, I am just trying to make a point. America needs to learn to be less politically correct. Its ruining what this country was formed on. But I guess thats another blog entry. Most of these other sayings, I could care less about. Its most likely because I don't hear them as much, as I really don't listen to talk radio, or watch TV.
