There's something about willful preservation and propagation of the contemporary (or semi-contemporary) cliche that irks worse than angry bedbugs.
(The character on The Office [UK/OG - ca. 2002/3?] who greeted people with "Wazzaaaap!" comes to mind when describing the abrasiveness of the effect. Truly no fucks given, amirite?)
And I've been trying to get to the anatomy of both a) this outsized personal response, and also to b) the root cause of anyone's tendency to speak in au courant (or...au recent) catchphrases.
Is the latter a matter of neural pathways, or (less suggestively) a mind/soul simply comforted by the use of familiar sounding speech patterns/an apparent common language?
Why do I think so much less of someone in the year of our Lord 2022 using the phrase "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" or "Fuck around and find out"?
"Spoiler Alert!!" - I think I'd be considerably less put out by ancient cornyspeak referring to 'wooden nickels" or "I'll buy THAT for a dollar". On the internets.
Anyhow...that's it. That's the tweet. If you know, you know.
