Who else is really, really tired of...

[Jivermo]

"iconic"
"reach out" or "reaching out"
"Share"
"been there, done that"
"boots on the ground"
"cone of uncertainty", "polar vortex" or any other inane, weather related crap phrases.
"be that as it may"
"having said that"
"if you will"
"outside the box"
"at the end of the day"
Just as one fades from usage, another seems to appear to repeatedly annoy and offend... Arrrrggggggg!

Sounds like words of the ass-kissing cubicle dwellers, climbing the rungs of an invisible ladder.

The two most offense new inane stupid language killing phrases that irritate me are:
blah blah blah "let's now turn to a concerning development, the intimidation piece . . . . ."

. . . almost as bad as "less people".

Indulge me, if you will, in my sharing this experiment outside the box of blathering in a thoroughly modern idiom, so that you may see the sheer waste of words that characterizes the grammatical polar vortex of our accelerating descent into societal collapse.
Having said that, at the end of the day, you will be no more enlightened than when you started reading this. It is time to put our boots on the ground to save ourselves from the inanity, the sheer mental torpor, the onslaught of words cascading around us in the crafty commercialized false brightness and dulcet tones of persuasion, "may cause bleeding and ulcers and hallucinations and death, ask your doctor about Stupidicor," "my whites really are whiter white!"" hey kids, super sugar Craptastic Frosted Poptarts are a great lunch box treat!" and be sure to scream this inanity in your ears as many hours per day as you are awake, yes, eventually, it will all be meaningless and you will be the properly docile consumer widget who asks not what your corporations can do for you, but you can do for your corporations.
