How many of you are sick of the latest over-used sound bites in the news lately? Liz you have already voiced tweeted your distaste for the first one.
Here are the ones that make me the craziest. Feel free to send me others in the comments.
From Wall Street to Main Street (number 1 most over-used term)
A heartbeat from the presidency (too scary to comment)
The golden parachute (downgraded to silver?)
I’ll get back to ya on that (kill me now)
A regular woman like you and me (I am nothing like this woman!!)
Consumer confidence (there is none)
Market adjustment (that was one hell of an adjustment)
Derivatives (derivative of what? that is the big question)
Bailout (this is a bad word. we need a new name for this. let’s rebrand this baby. anyone? bueller?)
Maverick (this infers reckless behavior to me)
Joe six-pack (I like my Joe’s with an anatomical six-pack, thanks)
First dude (sheesh!)
Watching the debates tonight I noticed that there were quite a few people on Twitter playing Palin bingo (I love that idea). They were thrilled when she said Maverick (how many times was that by the way?)
Her winking and dropping of the g on all ing words… not so much.

irnoic post — I heard something similar just this morning! Great blogging…
ARRGH! Just wanted to mute. You betcha! Wink Wink. What I notice is a repeated failure to ANSWER THE QUESTION. I think you should send her a doll and let her get back to doing what she does best.
A heartbeat from the presidency – this is terribly scary to think about and how do you think it makes the main guy feel, “you, over there, one heartbeat, that’s all you got left, dude, for real, one beat, then you are outta here” ack
A regular woman like you and me (sad day when I think Hilary is more like me that the glasses clad ‘thing’)
Maverick (wasn’t that a tv show?)
Sorry I had to chime in b/c these were driving me nuts as well
Do reborn baby dolls really poop and pee? Please tell me.
