Terms of Enragement!

Overused catch-phrases!

from JoeUser Forums
Hello Again,

Every New Year's, Simpsons creator Matt Groening does something called "Forbidden Words" in his weekly comic strip, Life in Hell. He lists words & phrases that he's sick of or feels should be out of vogue. Having heard several like that earlier, I'd like to make a list like that of my own. Are you also sick of hearing.....?

My bad.....Bitches.....Hos.....Compassionate conservatism.....It's the bomb.....Going postal.....Pick me up a forty.....Give it up for.....Cali.....Kickin' it.....Dawg.....Wussup?.....Homie.....Faith-based initiative.....Yo, yo, yo.....Posse.....What up?.....Pimp.....A Christian nation.....Gangsta.....Niggaz.....'Tude (as in attitude).....Eye candy.....The buzz.....My ride.....Couch Potato.....Dead Presidents.....Mickey D's.....He got game.....The OC.....Word.....Phat.....Towel heads (Arabs).....Diva.....Mother F***er.....Icon.....Fire down below.....How they hangin'?.....And I'm all, like.....Booty Call.....Grandmaster.....Copasetic.....Outsourcing.....I got a Jones for.....Gang banga.....Downsizing.....Samoleans.....Family values.....The Sandbox.....I've gotta see a man about a horse.....Dittoheads.....Official gear.....Exchanging body fluids.....Liberal loonies.....You know, you know.....Rocket science.....In the house.....The latest dish.....Gone ballistic.....Listen, Einstein.....Trailer trash.....Career suicide.....Space Cadet.....Jump the shark.....Get to steppin'.....Horizontal Hokey-Pokey.....Raider Nation.....Politically correct.....Stick a fork in him, he's done!

And so is this blog! Thank you for reading. As Always, Anne Alogy

*Kelly, I considered listing "dude"! Maybe I should have re-considered!

My friend goes "dude", and I say "dude", and my friend is like, "dude", and I'm all like, "dude", so my friend says "dude", and I go "dude".....

Thank you, Kelly -- Anne

anne,

Nice list, but, I have to take issue with you on "copasetic" simply for the Jerry (Garcia) factor ("West L.A. Freeway", a cut off of the "In the Dark" album).

As for most of the others on the list, I thought half of them WERE dead! lol

*Gideon, The Dead were Truckin' on the freeway! I seem to hear "copasetic" an awful lot. I think some people say it just to try to impress people with their "vocabularies". BTW, I LOVE the Live Dead album! My favorite cut is Love Light, all fifteen and a half minutes of it.--Anne

*Mason, It's like, you know, how people, you know, say some words, you know, and like read 'em, you know, you know, and like, you know, it's all good, you know, and I shoulda put it's all good on the list, you know, you know, you know!--Anne

*thatoneguy, Your secret is safe with me! Use HPP to your heart's delight! There is one term I didn't list that I'm kicking myself over. It was so obvious, I missed it, and that is --Don't Go There! My bad! Grrrrrr! -- Anne
