In which your humble narrator enumerates five things which vex him mightily.
1. Undergraduates who are in love with the word "impact" in made-up and innappropriate forms. Impactful. Impacted. Impactuated. Impacticized. Unless you're talking about your colon, "impact" is a noun. Example: I will hit you on the head if you use that word again. The impact will kill you.
2. Unraked autumn leaves that have been snowed on and now are moldering in the yard.
3. People with "philosophies" of child rearing. Here's my philosophy: 1. Keep children alive. 2. Prevent trauma if possible. 3. At end of day, check to ensure children are still alive. 4. Pour drink.
4. Fake plastic mullions in windows.
5. The unending need of Minnesota drivers to cut you of in traffic and then slow down to 15 miles below the speed limit.
Mullion? If it were anyone else, I would look it up. But if I get in the habit of looking up words you use, I might never have time to do other things, like sleep or be awake.
ReplyDeleteRight. It takes so long to type seven letters into "The Google."
