LOL. I hope you meant that as funny, because it made me laugh.

Hell, guilt without any pleasure! Guilt should always be decadence's punishment.

it would be cool to make a whole thing out of only phraseology from this thread via intentional cut-up.

as for something to consign... HR "positive" terminology and businessspeek generally. I made a good new meta-ironic phrase the other day...

"Civilization."

Until we've really achieved the level of civility worthy of the name, "civilization," I don't think we should claim to live in one.

For that matter, business value propositions (a.k.a. taglines) in quotes. WTF is the difference between:

Where the customer comes first

and
"Where the customer comes first"

I mean, were all these contract repairmen consulted by a lawyer to make sure they put their tagline in quotes on their vehicle lettering so they can't be held to it legally? Is that all it takes? Is that the marketing equivalent of leaving your four-ways on when you park illegaly, because technically you're just "stopped"? Dustbin.

Oh yes. Also, "Suffice it to say" because it's really ugly when people about whom I care end up mangling it so badly that it reflects poorly upon them as pseudointellectuals. WTF is "suffisa?"

Also: "When all is said and done" which never happens, by definition.

And I've said it here before, but it bears repeating: The list goes on and on". That's nice. Thanks for sharing. Very informative.
