  I am not 100% sure, but if I am not mistaken, I don't believe Dr. Boogie is a conservative. Also, he was giving an example of using the phrase "yeah, that's a thing." Try not being such a triggered cry baby. Just give up the act man, and bring the old sleeper back.
  
  While we are at it, let's check out your posts on gay people:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This isn't really about gays, but I had to include this for the irony considering sleeper now goes out of his way to turn every thread into an abortion argument.

  You need to spend more of your mental capital getting laid or more importantly acquiring more liquid assets rather than look up post history of an internet stranger.

  Only in your mind.

  "Savage" is quickly becoming my least favorite term. And "wrecked" is another one.

  I don't know....I just don't see the farmer saying, "That's a thing?"
  
  If that is a political statement, well then I guess you got me.

  I didn't scroll back through this, so it may have been mentioned, but I'm getting REALLY annoyed about the term "flipped the switch" in sports. There is NO "switch." "You're playing lazy/lackadaisical and now you're finally realizing you have to pull your head out of your ass" would be a better description of it.

  Sounds like a switch.

  "blah blah blah/whatever" - Particularly at the end of a sentence, these just scream that someone is too lazy to actually articulate their thoughts to completion.
  
  "situation" - This just seems to get overused in casual conversation. I don't mind it occasionally, but let's throw in a few synonyms if you have to mention it more than once or twice in a conversation.
  
  "ground floor" - Bitch, that means your business doesn't have any traction yet. Yeah, it could be a huge opportunity, but you're just trying to say that it's a gamble without using the word "gamble."
  
  "unlimited earning potential" - So, straight commission then. Got it.
  
  "drama" - More often than not, "melodrama" is more appropriate for the people who use this.
  
  "hater" - Odds are, you're not important enough for people to actually hate you. Stop it.
  
  "revolutionary" - Sorry, but there just aren't that many things anymore that qualify for this word. Taking an established concept and tweaking it doesn't make it revolutionary.
  
  "conversate" - I daydream about hitting you with my car.
  
  "ironic" - Go home, you hipster. That's not what ironic means.
  
  "I feel that ..." - That's not how feelings work. You can THINK that something means/is/does/precedes/WTF-ever something. You can feel hungry ... or gassy ... or an erection. If you're feeling thoughts, check yourself into a facility.
  
  "guru" - This is an industry one, but FFS, it seems like every Internet marketer who owns his own business has called himself a guru at one point or another. Give it a rest.
  
  "hypocrite" - A hypocrite isn't someone doing something they say is wrong if they admit that their doing it is wrong. By that logic, virtually everyone in the world is a hypocrite, and the word loses all meaning.
  
  "do what feels right" - Pretty sure there would be a lot more murder in the world if we actually thought this was good advice to live by.

  I spent all day negotiating a teacher contract:
  
  Evaluation tool
  Vendor assessment
  Growth measure
  Ineffective rating
  Value added
  
  What other profession is scrutinized using these idiotic terms?

  Everything. As in "this puppy playing with a kitten is EVERYTHING."

  Of course I have the normal on here (lit, bae, etc).
  
  In business, my #1 has got to be "synergy".

  All of them, gym teachers are just finally joining the real world of extremely subjective evaluations. The rest of us have been dealing with that for decades.
