"Tumbril Time!" he calls it and many a stilted cheese head of a phrase or word
he trundles off to the chopping block
examples i must take to my poor poor heart :.
"Any headline modeled on “It’s the economy, stupid.”. To the tumbrils with it!
“Well…” , as in constructs like “His performance was.. well… frankly bad.” Equally awful is “…er”, as in “Is Angeline Jolie a great actor? Er… no.” The British are particularly keen on this piece of stylistic coyness."
----my god he's after me here ME !
and he's right as a rainbow too ---
“Really.” ‘folks’
all me ..all me ..
but not this
heaven fore fend me rom ever the use of this
‘stakeholder.’” .
snake holder
or stake driver
maybe
but not stake holder
even i ain't that timpanum challenged
but then
merciful godettes
don't the foil master slip
in agrre with this mildewed rag of a phrase
“Bad guys.”
our alex write
" Spot on.."
oh god
SPOT ON " alex ?
to the tumbrils with you too
you supple old pink fop !

I get peevish when I hear "Do the math." Do it yourself: you're the one who brought it up.
It's the same when I hear the term "iconic." It makes me want to become an iconoclast, in the most literal sense.
I finally looked up the meaning of "pushing the envelope":

I had pictured someone seated coyly at a table and nudging an unopened envelope. A flirtation among lobbyists, perhaps. A mating dance between the briber and the bribed.
