I would add “baby daddy” to “baby bump”

I believe “At the end of the day” was on last year’s list. I know it’s already been banned.

At the end of the day, these people bring to the table ginormous problems for the persons of interest if they don’t stop pushing the envelope by doubling down and throwing people under the bus.

It irks me to hear a man say, “we are pregnant”, meaning he and his wife.

Why didn’t, “unexpected” make the list? All economic bad news is “unexpected by liberals everywhere.

——Can a human being truly be a parent to a different species?———

Yes

As I was recently leaving the breakfast room of a hotel I was following a woman leading a small dog. I almost bumped in to her as she suddenly stopped right in the door way.

She said, presumably to the dog, “Tell them all good Bye”

MAN CAVE

My “man cave” is my garage. It contains a reloading bench, a bike lift, a desk with my computer, tool chest(s), usually 2-4 motorcycles (mine & others) and pictures of my heroes. You know the usual, Dick Klamforth, Gary Nixon Dick Mann etc. No recliner, no TV

If you ever hear (or read) the word AMAZING in a commercial or upon the packaging of the product it means that it is a piece of crap.

There are no exceptions.

Add “writing your in place of the contraction for ‘you are’ (you’re)”

AMAZING has got to go. I watch Parks and Recreation and lose count how many times it’s used in one sentence.

I also can’t stand ‘Nothing is worse than....’

Heh, glad you liked it. To be truthful, I don’t have anything against “amazing”, what I have something against is people who use it to season every description of everything.

All the other ones do irritate me, though I admit to never having heard of “trickeration”. That just sounds stupid...

I actually don't have anything against "man cave" either, as it was foisted on my consciousness by my wife. I don't have a television in mine either, but dang it, no reloader, either...

This is a segment of what I have on top of all the cabinets that go around the room...:)

That’s right up there with the hostile rhetorical “OKAY?” intended to forestall any further discussion when it is obvious that listener will not accept what the speaker just offered, and the speaker knows it.

Well, the two words could be taken as synonyms.

“Think outside the box” drives me absolutely nuts.
