Well, I know what it means I just hate it!

Someone used that phrase with when I experienced intense sorrow and regret after selling my house... long story but it had been stained after a series of other things. A developer was pressuring me to sell; need I say more?

Maybe the arson and harrassment wasn't enough duress?

I guess I just can't imagine saying to someone in any situation. Just sounds really mean.

I can't stand when a controversy, no matter how small or inconsequential, is called x-gate. Watergate wasn't about water. What the hell happened?

I'm sick and tired of made-up, idiotic, phrases that you would hear on insipid day time chat shows, or read in publications like the National Inquirer, worming their way into mainstream usage. Same with the previously mentioned fur babies. FRO with this crap.
