I always cringe a little when I see the words “buy back”. The government isn’t buying back nor reclaiming anything it owns. Freepers know this but it just seems like giving in to the new world double speak lingo to not parenthesize this phrase.

I hate that term “buy back,” too.

On Saturday, there was a “buy back” in the southern Maine town of Falmouth. On the evening news, the clueless anchorette kept using the term, “Take back.” I swore at the TV.
