Words

There are several words or phrases I have come to dislike. The following is the start of my list:

1. Closure - This isn't new but it's one that I really dislike. What is "closure" anyway? It's usually used in either a crime or death of a loved one. Yes, Mr Smith, we found your daughter's body. We now know what happened to her. You now have closure. Closure? His daughter is still dead. Closure won't bring her back.

2. First responders - This is fairly new. It used to be when there was an accident or a fire or some other event, firemen, police, ambulance personnel etc would be there to help out. But now it's the "first responders". Do we know who they are? It could be a bunch of circus clowns but they're the "first responders".

3. Tweet - This is something just the birds used to do. Now, you're no one unless you "tweet" your every move. There are dozen of followers that are just waiting to see what you had for lunch.

4. Baby Bump - Women don't get pregnant anymore, they get a "baby bump". Especially if you're a celebrity. Ugh!
 

This is just the start. More will be added soon. Add a comment if you have any "un-favorite" words.
