Stay-cation

I'm getting really tired of overused terms and just plain dumb words, like the newly coined "stay-cation" to refer to those who prefer to stay home (likely because of the high cost of gas) rather than invest in a family (expensive) vacation. I am recommending that we create a post of these dumb phrases or words as a final call to retire them from our language. To start off our list, how about these priceless artifacts:

  • "It is, what it is" (what ever the hell that means to anyone, since I've yet to understand this waste of rhetoric)
  • "It's neither here, nor there" (another phrase that is about as insightful as the ever popular, "uhhh" or similar "you know, blah, blah, blah, you know"

By the way, I'm also tired of people responding to "how're you doing" with the generic "I'm fine." From now on, I'm going to add a little color to the dialogue by saying, "I'm translucent, Thank you"

Hey, I hear ya'. In fact, the reality is: been there, done that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put on my power tie to meet some power broker for a power lunch. That power bar I had this morning didn't go too far.

You know, you should learn to play hard if you work hard, you blow hard.

I was just thinking, while I was outside, I would really like to box.

It's like trying to put a round peg in a square hole.

Sounds like you're trying to hang a big picture.

Maybe we should take this matter off-line.
