Doesn't it just 'brown you off' when some 'catchphrase
executioner' tells you it's already too trite to use a word that
you haven't yet had the opportunity to speak or write?
Take this carrion beetle covered with mites, for instance.
Some would say it looks 'squicky'. But they shouldn't
because this word has been overused over the past
year and thus should be shot at dawn, if not sooner.
