You saying "husby-husb" was pretty memorable. Like how if one day I was like, "Ronald Reagan was a pretty good president."

Hubby is just awful and so is 'DH' for Dear Husband. Makes me feel like we're all in a terrible 70s British sitcom.

I'm amazed this one hasn't come up yet, "End of". As in, "That's all I have to say on the matter. End of." (Not sure if this is used in the US or not).
― Peas Be Upon Ham (Tom D.), Saturday, 17 January 2015 12:27 (nine years ago) link
In the US it's often phrased as "Enough said." Or worse, "'Nuff said." It's horrible.

When I worked at Ruby Tuesday the training materials had scripts that included "tuck into" as well as extensive use of "wash down." "The Church Street is great washed down with a strawberry Megarita." Fucking nauseating, and we had to rehearse the lines aloud in shift meetings.

Business school teachers apparently have not yet stopped telling their students to claim to have a "passion" for _______. Nobody is impressed by these passionate claims; on the other hand, the use of the word indicates a certain willingness to say whatever the boss needs to hear, which might be a factor in getting hired if toadying is an important job function.
The word passion has become boilerplate: your thoughts.
The most inadvertently funny version of why-not-to-do-this I ever saw was an ag student who claimed to "have a passion for livestock."

It's a red herring that only goes to show up the fallacies of morons who go around using it. describing someone as a champagne socialist assumes that wealthy people shouldn't care about the welfare of those less well off than them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy about certain rightwing values; as if monetary wealth should work as an automatic tranquiliser that halts any empathic or idealistic thoughts, or that once you have money, you've joined some special club and shouldn't ever have to worry about people less well off than you again. That, or of course donate all your money to charity and live like St Francis of Assisi the rest of your fucking life while the world keeps spinning and nothing changes.

'stupid people' - it feels like whenever i see someone moaning about 'stupid people' it's always part of some sort of prejudiced rant that reflects more about the complainer's limited worldview than those he/she is disparaging, e.g. 'we should introduce taxes for obesity and cut costs on stupid people coming to the hospital for self destructive reasons'. see also 'stupid people who like top 40 radio' and umpteen other examples.

most of our interactions seem to be built on an innate desire to congratulate ourselves for being more intelligent than others, among other self-aggrandisments.
my personal choice of stupid person to lambast in order to make me feel better is the person who lambasts stupid people.

this ^
although it does raise questions about whether it's okay to ever describe someone as 'stupid'. somehow, calling someone 'stupid' feels like the last bastion in socially acceptable but ultimately offensive/derogatory terms. i mean, you can get high and mighty and zero-tolerance about calling someone (or a group of people) 'stupid' and at the same time i understand what someone means when they say something is 'a stupid idea' or that someone is 'acting stupid'. what does it mean to call someone a 'stupid person'? i could very well be tempted to call, for example, a right-wing rent-a-gob 'stupid', but that's wrong because I think people like Jeremy Clarkson and Katie Hopkins are probably fairly smart - they just exhibit dangerous and selfish behaviour. In that respect, calling them 'stupid' is an understatement and offensive to those who are under-schooled or suffer from learning difficulties.

What I really hate about this is that what it actually means is "we're okay with using models who are of (actually just below) average weight, but fuck no we're not using ugly women or women with any body hair or birthmarks or scars or anything else like that, GOD that's gross".
