A general bitch session for the end of the year.

Let's start with getting rid of made up euphemized office words and terms like "visioning", and "strengthening our core competencies" and just say what the fuck we actually mean.

Saying "literally" when you mean something figuratively irritates me. A cock-punch is warranted for doing that.

Jimmy Fallon also deserves a cock-punch, just on general principles. He's not funny, and far too smug.

Anderson Cooper needs to go away. I have no philosophical objections to him, or to his orientation. He's just damned stupid.

Especially the way that network talking heads have taken to using it. This is 'trending', that is 'trending'. It's all so fucking navel-gazing. 'We're talking about bullshit topic X because a bunch of people on twitter are talking about it'

I've got an idea. What if people who give a shit what other people are saying on twitter just go follow twitter. Maybe you network talking heads could spend your time on topics of more usefulness.

Makes me cringe when I hear it.
One jackass said it and everyone else found a new phrase.

Where in the fuck did that word come from all of a sudden?? Fuck you mainstream media. Wolf Blitzer gets cock punched not only for constantly overusing it, but simply for being Wolf Blitzer.

Runner up is the over used word "pivot". Life is not a basketball game.



...........k, I feel better now.
