<p>Do women every say this? I suspect it is something only a man would say.</p>
<p>A friend of mine who works at a software company has seen documents that use “desirements” to refer to new feature requests.</p>
<p>
Oh, yeah. Have you seen that there’s a new show on cable (don’t remember which channel) - “Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant.” Turned to my daughter and said, “Uh. . . no. Not unless it’s on the Discovery Channel!”</p>
<p>The morning after a very close primary in NH, many reporters stated," “at the end of the day”, the voters will decide who the next nominee will be.“”</p>
<p>At the end of what day???</p>
<p>Chedva:</p>
<p>In some cultures, men are indeed “pregnant.” They experience some the symptoms of pregnancy and take to their beds when their wives give birth and supposedly experience the labor pains. Poor dears.</p>
<p>Fortunately, no episiotomies.</p>
<p>just so we’re all on the same page now</p>
<p>we will return momentarily</p>
<p>I’ll be honest with you. It bugs me when data and bacteria used as single nouns.</p>
<p>“The data shows…”</p>
<p>“This bacteria is…”</p>
<p>The criteria for admission is…</p>
<p>From the weather report: “There is a weather situation developing that is likely to impact traffic…”</p>
<p>Around our parts, we also have newscasters informing us that “We are going to have weather today…” On which days are we not going to have weather?</p>
<p>and around what parts?</p>
<p>It depends on the weather, doesn’t it? unless we’re not going to have weather…:)</p>
<p>There was some sort of irritating cultural shift when the response to “Would you like a drink/snack” to a guest became, “No, I’m good.” I grew up with the response “I’m fine, thank you” Or “No thank you.” Was there a time when ‘fine’ became obsolete? </p>
<p>I work in an environment where orientated is the frustrating norm, rather than oriented. </p>
<p>Pronouncing centimeter ‘sontimeter’ I live in a part of the country where foreign derived words are mispronounced with abandon. So what’s with the frenchified pronounciation?</p>
<p>Because they think it’s a French conspiracy to get rid of the whole nine yards?</p>
<p>What do they replace those lost yards with, the whole enchilada?</p>

<p>People find inspiration on the HGTV and Food Network. Plenty of ooohs and aaaahs for the new “armuaaaaaa” in the “fohiaaar” and other futile attempts to look intelligent on TV.</p>
<p>I once read a grant application where the applicants were going to be “role-modeling” behavior for lower income adolescents. Role-model as a verb? What the heck?</p>
<p>Describing a tragic helicopter incident:
“major decapitation”</p>
<p>I would assume that any decapitation would be major.</p>
<p>LMAO at major decapitation!</p>
<p>^^Does it mean that the pilot lost his head?</p>
