Forum clichÃ©s

**Davocrat** · 26th November 2009 11:58 PM

1) Threads about forum clichÃ©s. (I know, I know. Just wanted to get it out the way before some wiseacre says it.)

2) "Meet the new boss." Please, please spare us this lamely overused "Who's Next" reference. I'm willing to bet, Pete Townsend would say the average teabagger is a dolt.

3) "Faux outrage." Just write "fake" if you can't type 100% French.

4) "_____ much?" Goes without saying.

5) "The MSM." Of course there are media that are "in the mainstream" but when it becomes a label for "media I don't like" it's meaningless.

Your turn...

How about: ending the sentence with "mkay?"

How about starting the sentence with, "So, what you're saying is...?"

my all time fave: nice way to spin it.

Bush ... Clinton ..... Bush.....Clinton.....

(They aren't Presidents any more)......

Now of course, if you wish to keep bringing them up, we will counter with MSM and our own cliches....

We do need a term for the combined cultural influence of academia, hollywood, the greenies, all the broadcast TV news and the Democrat party.

Got any nice summary other than "The Left?"

How about the ever so ignorant "Obama, the worst president ever".

Any "clever" name for an individual or group of people. "Libbos, Rethugs, etc." "Shrub, Chimpy, Nobama, the Messiah" - all those do is bring down the level of discussion and show your partisanship.* (That includes "Post Turtle" whatever the fuck that is)

*disclaimer: I'm not above thinking "Dim Son" is funny. I'm allowing myself that exception.

"See, I was right all along and this poll proves it."

Lumping "academia" in with "all the broadcast TV news" is quaint at best, anti-erudite at worst.

Exceptions should be made for original coinage as well.
