Everybody should stop saying these things:
"I could care less"
"It's besides the point"
"Nucular"
Any others?
Opens up. As in, celebrity 'A' opens up about breakup with B. 🙄
shareUgh. True.

share24/ 7 I think that might have been fresh in 1990
and worse:
24/ 7/ 365 which was always wrong and should have been 24/7/52 because there are 52 weeks in a year which is ALSO wrong because there are MORE than 52 weeks in a year!
"...there are MORE than 52 weeks in a year!"
Maybe that's why they don't use it. 24/7/52 plus a day (or plus two days in leap years) is awkward. And today if a word contains more than two syllables it takes too much effort for some to pronounce it.
"365" would mean every day of the year.
For the record, I don't agree with the "24/7" model of operation. There needs to be a rhythm to life. Unless it is an essential service such as a hospital or the fire department, this isn't necessary. Do we really need 24-hour Walmarts?
Fap. Who came up with this ridiculous word? There are some stupid terms for masturbation but fap is just idiotic. How anyone can say it and not feel like a moron is beyond me.
shareSometimes in Australia it's called "having (havin') a bat". Make sense or not, it's funny in the Aussie accent.
shareAlso "Flogging the dolphin." We really need to un-desensitize ourselves vis-a-vis animal cruelty, even though the expression is funny AF.
Ditto for "Choking the Chicken."
“Phee-nom,” exclusively used by moronic sports commentators (please pardon the redundancy) and their even-dumber fans. Really? Is “phenomenon” a word that’s just too big for you to remember?
Sheesh. Trailer park.
Any word with more than two syllables is too difficult for some to pronounce. Too much effort involved.
shareAs I said, “trailer park.”
No wonder that you dislike smart phones.”
Don’t reply. Your response is obvious.
Oh no! THREE syllables. You do realize that the word “syllable” contains 3 of them, right? Yet you had no compunction about using the word in you feckless post.
