Ten things I'm sick of hearing.

It is what it is. Uh...really...it is? You sure it's not something else? Positive?

Supposably.  Is this supposed to be supposed and opposable  together? As in a supposed thumb of opposition?  It's supposEDly, folks.

May when you mean might. This one really bugs me, because then when you say may, as in giving permission, people think it's a possibility. Eddie may come over after school. That means Eddie has my permission to come over, not Eddie might come over...which is possible, or not, depending on whether his mother says he may and he can, as in he's able to.

Less when you mean fewer. I'll use fewer tissues when there's less pollen in the air.

Thoroughbred when you mean purebred. Thoroughbred is a breed of horse, period. It does not denote bloodlines. Purebred is the word you want when you're talking about your pweshus widdle snookie-wookums dust-mop Yorkie.

People saying the President isn't a natural-born citizen. Get over this one, folks. Just because you don't have the BALLS to admit you're racist, doesn't mean Mr. Obama wasn't born IN Hawaii, WHEN it was already a state. Get.over.it.

People thinking that New Orleanians hang out in the Quarter, are drunks, and show their tits to strangers on demand.  That drunk chick, bobbling her boobies on Bourbon Street? That's your daughter, Mr. Iowa Farmer. Unless she's on a balcony, and then it's more than likely your son.

You can be fat AND fit. Sorry, guys, that one's a total oxymoron. By the very nature of the condition, obesity is the embodiment (no pun intended) of malnutrition and "unfitness." I'm all about loving ourselves, etc. but don't kid yourself into taking a trip on De Nial....

Oh, you'll change your mind.... to women who don't want children. They might. They might not. Not.your.business. By the same token, labeling someone as a horrible example of womanhood or some kind of failure because she decides--whatever her reasons are--not to have kids, is insulting and unfair.

Comic Sans hatred. I like Comic Sans and all you haters can just font off.
