I know, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?????????
I prefer Patrick Henry and the Anti-Federalists, personally, as most true Jeffersonians do (Clyde Wilson provides fine essays on the Jeffersonian Tradition which isn't properly illustrated in today's usage of more popular T.J. quotes.)
Back to the question at hand:
"The Housewives of..."
"...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."
-Edmund Burke
"THE" oc. It's not "the" oc, it's just orange county. I grew up here, and no one ever called it that before that dumb ass show was on TV.
What about Beverly Hills? Nobody called that "90210" before that stupid TV show, either. And nobody called lazy bums "couch potatoes" until TV made the phrase popular. And Jay Leno was just another ugly guy, until TV made him seem like something.
TV is a bad influence.
The term "couch potato" was coined by a group of California hipsters who were humorously eschewing all healthy activities and extolling the virtues of extended TV watching. They called themselves Couch Potatoes ('tubers"... get it?) and published a newsletter called The Tuber's Voice. Their logo was created by alt-cartoonist Robert Armstrong, a founding member of the group, and was popularized through his efforts. So a couch potato isn't a lazy bum: it's someone who watches a lot of TV.
The word I'm most tired of hearing? So many, but because I'm here I'll nominate "tone."
Fundamental change..
Indie Band.................what is that anymore?
It means no major label is interested.

My bad...
"There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions.
And words." George Carlin
Words are a dime a dozen, or several million a piece.
It's the intentions, how we combine them, implied meanings, etc that are potentially sickening, often intentionally stupidizing.
They're the essential thing we have over other mammals.
But here's a song with awful, awful, inexcusable words.
Avoid it if you can.
"Well, I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused..."
Elvis Costello
core values
mission statement
.... when really it's all about making as many $ as possible without pissing someone who gives them to you off.....
"The American People...." As if to imply if you don't agree, you're not American. Or, that all Americans are on-board with what ever is being pitched. The rest of you can go to hell.
"Cautiously optimistic" (No balls. Whats the matter? Afraid that just being plain old optimistic is going to discredit you forever if the s*** hits the fan?)
"Cautionary tale" (Someone really likes Peter Rabbit.)
"Awesome" (Buy a thesaurus already. How can your favorite comedian, a beer, your stereo, Jerry Springer and the sunset all be "Awesome"?)
"No problem" from a waiter who is serving you. Easy now, no one is threatening you. Just bring the tea and put it on the table.... nice and easy.
"Let's share a dinner." Hell no woman, order your own. I'm hungry. But maybe if we did share an entree I wouldn't hear...
"Get off of me you fat bastard" as much. (Thanks FJ, I hurt my back laughing.)

If aliens listened to our current top 40, they'd think that the entire planet was populated by sexually ambivalent robots with ethnic insecurity.

Green Energy..
"Rock n Roll hall of Fame"
There is no such thing. There's a Modern Western Popular Music Museum in Cleveland. But nowhere is there a Rock n Roll HoF with real and true and ONLY rock n rollers honored. The Rockabilly HoF comes close but obviously stops at rockabilly.
Disco, folk, Rap, Pop, jazz, blues, funk... they're all there. But true rockers. Real rock people. I don't know about that:
Link Wray.
Rock N Roll Trio.
Dale Hawkins.
Billy Lee Riley.
Dick Dale.
MC5.
Johnny Winter.
James Gang.
Humble Pie.
Rory Gallagher.
Deep Purple.
Alice Cooper.
King Crimson.
Scorpions.
UFO.
Mountain.
Montrose.
New York Dolls.
Thin Lizzy.
Cheap Trick.
Judas Priest.
Kiss.
Bad Company.
Robin Trower.
Yes.
Heart.
Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers.
Motorhead.
Rush.
Joan Jett.
Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio).
Iron Maiden.
Saxon.
The Jam.
Dire Straights.
Squeeze.
Pat Benatar.
Dead Boys.
Black Flag.
X.
Los Lobos.
Dead Kennedys.
Misfits.
Stray Cats.
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Slayer.
OK, so Alice is getting some love this year....

"Let's do this thing!"
"Lock and load."
"Rock and roll!"
There are probably others.
When people say these things in action/adventure flicks, or when people who apparently watch action/adventure flicks say these things to pump themselves up to move one or more items of furniture... uuuughh

"The air server is full"
"My edit server is full"
"All I did was open the attachment..." (Boom. Kiss wife goodbye for 12 hours, add 3 for every hour the boss helps.)
"You're over budget" (Budget is relative. What boss wants, boss buys, then charges to your department.)
"You're behind schedule" (See "Fire them" and "Unmanned." Add boss who hijacks your remaining staff to handle pet projects and WALLA! No project is completed on time.
"What do you mean we can't do that" (you didn't want to talk about budgetary related system limitations during the design and purchasing phase)
And last but not least...
"I'm going to clean house here"
Beat you to it, I quit.
