Words and Phrases I'm Sick Of

 

1.     Clapped Back:  When you see that in a so-called news article, doesn’t it bring to mind a bunch of whiney, high school teenaged girls in a catfight?

2.     Rising Star:  Political pundits are really in love with this phrase.  Supposedly, AOC is a rising star.  The governor of New Mexico, (who closed grocery stores), is a rising store, blah, blah, blah.  It’s the same in the republican party too.  Everyone is a rising star and somebody needs to tell me if we have so many ‘rising stars’ then why in the world don’t the politicians do anything in Washington?

3.     Rest in Power:  That’s the key online phrase when a celebrity dies.  Whatever happened to just ‘rest in peace?’

4.       Tweeting:  Every single written news story has this word.  Why?  There was a world before Twitter America.

5.     Destroys:  Why is this word in every single news story?  Destroys means ruination or demolishing, not catfighting on Twitter.

6.     Lockdown:  Lockdown makes me think of prisons.  Lockdowns also seem to be the perfect excuse for politicians to pass the buck.

7.     Person of Color: Get one thing straight, I find many minorities better friends and more interesting to talk to than a lot of white people.  However, what in the world happened to the term ‘minority?’

8.      Climate Emergency:  Yes, I believe in climate change but say it so you get the public’s attention ‘the environment is screwed up.’

9.     White Privilege: I, a white woman,  had a 55 pound tumor taken out of me so shove your ‘white privilege.’

10.   ‘Karen:’  In the history of stupid comments, this takes it.  Swearing is a almost common in mainstream society anyway, just call the woman a bitch and be done with it.
