Language I Want Eliminated from Everyday Speech
A word you hear TOO much these days is resonate (verb) or resonance (noun). Listen for it on radio and in TV, read it all over the place in print media. Fuck things that resonate, I say: Refuse to resonate! Be original!
Example: If you see a painting that has the words LOVE in it, and someone, some puffy-ass wanna be art critic, says, "I really feel that this piece resonates with the loss of faith in simple, straightforward expressions of sincere emotions in art today," grab the painting off the wall with extreme prejudice, throw it on the ground, stamp on it, and listen to it "resonate" under your feet.
Overused word in the war against terrorism and the new patriotism: "resolve."
I resolve not to ever use that word again for at least ten years.
Slang That Has Infiltrated the Media and is Now Used by Overweight White Journalists Who Do It To Sound Hip
Yo (And I ain't talking about the Spanish first-person subject pronoun, either, ya wise acre)
Old school
Straight up
You da man
Dat's the bomb
Keeping it real
Show some love
Fly
Biatch
Get your "insert noun here" on
Full Guilt Disclosure
I had named my film company KIR, for Keeping It Real Productions, but since have given up the copyright.
New name: RFP, for Roadside Floosies Productions. Not sure how to spell 'floozies' but I know one when I see one.
Woo, hoo, show us some love, floosies, you da bomb fly shit! Get yer freak on. Yo, biatch, keep it real. Straight up.
Don't even THINK about stealing the cool name, jocko! Hey, I may be white, but I ain't puffy!
