"legalize drugs / drug legalization"

"People of faith."

(With the attendant implication that those outside the acceptably narrow boundaries of "religion," necessarily aren't.)

"Dustbin"

Seriously, how much "dust" is in a modern trashcan?

"Trashcan" is the american name for this, and it fits far better. Who knows trash better than the americans, anyway?

"Trashbin" is acceptable I suppose ...

"Everything is on the table."

Always spoken when the things that really should be, never are.

"narrative"

"paradigm"

- these words are usable sometimes, but look at the fecking way they are actually used, not least (but not only) on this board.

"market-based"

I don't agree with everything they say (even when I agree with next to nothing they say) but they have a point when they say...

"speak to"

Just fuck off with that. It's inevitably cant and sanctimoniousness.

I thought it was derived: what do you > what do yuh > what d'yuh > what djuh > what cha. QED. See also 'So what'cha want' by the Beastie Boys. But anyway, does E-prime alter cognition in any provable way? Or should I just stick with bath salts LSD?

Wow, just wow. Unbeknownst to me, this thread like totally speaks to my core strengths. It isn't about words, it's about people, people.

Just sayin'.

Kthx.
