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.

(7,162 posts)Just what would a figurative cock punch be, anyway?
phantom power
(25,966 posts)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.

Runner up is the over used word "pivot". Life is not a basketball game.
...........k, I feel better now.
