Most Overused Words/Phrases of the Decade

2009-12-16T12:39:24Z

At the turn of the century (the 21st century, that is), everyone was talking about Y2K, the computer bug that many feared would crash computer systems at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve 1999, creating a world-wide apocalypse. That didn’t happen, of course, but “Y2K” became the first of many new overused words and phrases of the decade. After the jump, check out which other words and phrases people have been uttering way too much in the past 10 years.

Wardrobe malfunction
Status update
Tweeted (as in “I just tweeted about that”)
“Cougar” to describe any attractive woman over the age of 35, who happens to be single, or any woman dating a man more than three years her junior.
The “clever” blending of two words to create one era-appropriate word, like “Staycation,” “bromance,” “Metrosexual,” “Recessionista,” and “Brangelina.”
“I just threw up a little in my mouth.”
Date Night
Getting anything “on,” like “getting my drink on.”
All IM- and text-inspired abbreviations: OMG, TMI, WTF, LMAO, ZOMG, and the granddaddy of them all, LOL.
“Hot mess” to describe anyone a little attractive whose sanity — or outfit — is questionable. i.e., Juliette Lewis.
The shortening of words — which we are definitely guilty of — like “whatevs,” “obvi,” and “totes.”
“That’s what she said.”
Seriously. Seriously? Seriously.
The word “amazing” to describe anything that isn’t actually amazing.
“That’s hot!”
Wuzzup!
Un/Friended (as in “I friended/unfriended him on Facebook”)
Beyotch
“Dude!” (as an exclamation or a greeting)
“What a douche.”
“Voted off,” thanks, primarily, to the number of reality shows that vote members off the island/out of the house/off the show.

So hot
out the box
Can we pick up the pace?
Turn it up
heat it up
I need to be entertained
Push the limit
Are you with it?
Baby, don’t be afraid
I’ma hurt you real good, baby

Let’s go
It’s my show
Baby, do what I say
Don’t trip
off the bits that I’m gonna display
I told you
I’ma hold you down until you’re amazed
Give it to you ’til you’re screaming my name

No escaping when we start
Once I’m in I hold your heart
There’s no way I’ll ring the alarm
So hold on ’til it’s over

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?
Because it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was awfully sweet
A fallen angel swept you off your feet
But I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment

It’s alright
you’ll be fine
Baby, I’m in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I’m the master of both
Close your eyes
not your mind
Let me into your soul
I’ma work it ’til you’re totally blown

No escaping when I start
Once I’m in I own your heart
There’s no way I’ll ring the alarm
So hold on ’til it’s over

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?
Because it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was awfully sweet
A fallen angel swept you off your feet
But I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment

Oh oh…
Entertainment…
I’m here for your entertainment…

Oh oh…
Do you like what you see?
Let me entertain me you until you scream

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?
Because it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was awfully sweet
A fallen angel swept you off your feet
But I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Write it on your heart

Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm so very sorry Livejournal, but my self-diagnosed ADD (aka laziness) has propelled me to update with one-liners on Facebook and Twitter. :-)

Nothing much new to report here. Quit smoking. Nine weeks smoke-free, Getting a new grandson in February. I wanna move back home. Not really, but I do miss being around the boys and grandbabies.

Time for work, adios!

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

There's a Grand Traverse Pie Co here on the southside. Also, I saw a Noodles and Co. Must have Noodles and Pie.

Roadtrip, anyone?

I thought about going to the KISS meeting today, but I'm not setting foot in Speedway today, plus I didn't think the topic was worth the hassle, for me, at least.

I do need to shop for groceries later. I hate that chore.

Ciao, my pretties :)

An Update!

2009-06-23T02:17:02Z

Not much new with me but thought I'd at least y'all know I am still alive :)

Work, home ownership and family has been occupying my time of late. And I think it's gonna get worse.

Now that my dad is all better and leukemia-free, my mother has begun having an issue. She's been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and she's having a hard time breathing. She no longer can do any housework or even go get their groceries. I asked her the other day how the garden was doing and she told me she didn't know because she was unable to walk out there. Of course she's been a smoker for over 60 years. She tried to quit but just couldn't do it, even knowing that's probably the only thing to help her at this point. She has an inhaler to use.

Anyway, I've been having this sense of dread lately that our days with her are numbered. She's tiny anyway, but now is looking extremely gaunt. So, I think I'm going to start going down there every weekend. I want to spend as much time with her as I can in addition to helping my dad around the house.

I'll still stay in town for the third weekend of every month for local activities, but while the weather is permittable I feel like I should be down there. And of course if there is something special going on up here, I'll work around it. I have a BBQ to attend here on the 4th and I've not been able to spend too much time with that group of folks for a while, so I'm coming back into town for that. We have off work on the 3rd, so I'll dash down home on the evening of the 2nd and return here the afternoon of the 4th. I may be doing some extra driving in the months ahead but it feels like something I need to be doing.

And I have another grandbaby on the way!!! Life is something else, I tell ya!

We had 20 people at the Indy munch on Saturday. I was tickled pink. There were new people and old friends as well. Success.

Afterwards, I attended the NLA-Indy party. It's always a good time and the bright minds never cease to amaze me.

On Sunday I headed over to Depauw Univ. and met up with friends for The Who's Tommy where our pal Veronica was directing the band. It was awesome and neat as hell to see Veronica in another element. She rocked it out, dudes :)

Then I hustled back to town for the IMAS munch. Met some more new folks and spent some time chatting with folks from Indiana Younger Kink about munch etiquette. I told them I only have one problem with their group and that is because I am too old! They snickered. God love 'em. :) I'm particularly thrilled that there is such interest and they are rocking and rolling with their freak on.

All righty then. A little over a week until Kinko de Mayo in Cleveland. Wheeeeee!

Bwahahahaha

As the holiday season draws to a close, you might be feeling a little strapped for cash. Would you ever consider selling one of your organs (bodily organs, that is) if you really needed the money?

Your rainbow is intensely shaded white, violet, and yellow.

What is says about you: You are a joyful person. You appreciate beauty and craftsmanship. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it. People depend on you to make them feel secure.
