Where the hell did this INO shit come from?

[Jasper]

Suddenly I am hearing people mutter about things that are "in name only" CONSTANTLY and it is driving me catshit.  Who did this?

[President Television]

Don't look at me, I was busy bitching about "unthinkable". Obviously you can think about it if you can mention it in a sentence, let alone report it in the news, dipshits. 

[Jasper]

Shiiiiiiiit!

This thread is now about shitty punditry buzzwords.

Are you talking about Carly for California's devil sheep? http://www.fcino.com/



edited to cheap at getting rid of the damned robots. 

[Jasper]

Yes.

So much anger, yet so many lulz.

I had already forgotten about that piece of shit commercial. Still hilarious the second time.

[Salty]

Is that thing supposed to be serious? I have no idea what the hell it was blathering about, but laughed my ass off.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

that movie scared me.
i want my blankie.

unthinkable has been around a while hasn't it?  Honestly I like that one.

unspeakable doesn't make any more sense (well, unless it is written down, then it is unwriteable that doesn't work)

...And where in the name of God's Green Fuck did this "Masterclass" bullshit come from?

The Masterclass cookbook, the Masterclass DVD on Irish step dancing.

Unless you have an actual master at a given art RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, it's not a masterclass, AFAIK.  more buzzwordy abuse of my damn language.

Maybe it isn't so bad in the states, but over here every time that CBC News could just say "tragic" or "impossible" (neither of which I care for either) they just throw in the word "unthinkable" for extra melodrama points. And they put SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON IT. They even do it in their Olympics propaganda. You know, the commercials in which they tell the heartwarming tales of Canada's courageous athletes.

I don't know, I just don't like that they use a word that implies that there are things we shouldn't think about. It's almost as if they're trying to manipulate the populace.

ETA: And networks like the Discovery Channel use it even more, especially in shows about disasters. Fuck you Discovery Channel producers, I'll think about businessmen trapped and drowning in a burning airplane fuselage as much as I like.

Someone should do a linguistic study on American hyperbole (notice the beginning of that word is, well, hype).  Esp during the Olympics and for commercials.  The shows titled "When _something ridiculously innocuous, usually_ Attack!" as well, I think.

Tonight on the Discovery Channel; a new series. Watch as toddlers unthinkably lash out with unspeakable rage. Watch "WHE BABIES ATTACK!"

[Doktor Howl]

We should use hyperbolic adjectives and adverbs far more often.
