4 words I never want to hear used in the same sentence again

[Connonym]

Wall Street and Main Street. Can't they find a different cliche to use?

[Aqaba]

1. Plantation owners and uppity workers went out long ago...

...they had to find something more digestible.

Unsurprisingly, they who spake as such are out of touch.

[Kitty Herder]

2. I know the feeling.

I think I'll :puke: if I hear that phrase again.

[Believing Is Art]

3. Hmmm

Looks like some will be making fewer trips to Chez Francois and others will have to stop going to Huddle House? That's pretty lame, I'm sorry.

[melody]

4. amen n/t

[Mind_your_head]

5. The disparity between Wall Street and Main Street is GARGANTUAN

It very rightly SHOULD be pointed out! And you will be hearing those words a lot more often, unless you want to stick your fingers in your ears and sing, "la, la, la" as some stupid lady on one of the talk shows did a year or two ago.

[Connonym]

6. true enough but, as I said, they need to think of a different way of saying it

it's as obnoxious as McCain and his "my friends...my friends...my friends"

[Mind_your_head]

10. I really don't understand why it's obnoxious to you - or others -

unless it's bringing one to the reality that "you're just an ordinary person" - you're NOT gonna 'make it big' in the financial sense. So, don't vote against your OWN.BEST.INTERESTS.AS.THE.GREAT.REGULAR.PERSON.YOU.ARE!

[Connonym]

12. simply the repetitive nature of the phrase and their lack of imagination

in describing the situation without using the exact same wording every fucking time. How about "Wall Street and you" "Wall Street and every day Americans" etc. Seriously you'd probably go into a coma if you drank a shot every time they say it on the news in an hour's time.

[Triana]

7. robber barons and the working class. n/t

[Sherman A1]

11. That's close to what I use

Robber Barons and wage slaves seems to fit better for me

[Two Americas]

8. there is always...

"The two Americas."

I got that one used, pretty cheap, off of some politician. Can't remember his name off hand...

[pork medley]

9. parasite and host?

[Connonym]

13. howzabout we change "host" to "victim"? n/t

[Greyhound]

14. Beat me to it. n/t

:kick:

[deutsey]

15. Kitchen table

That's the cliche that grates most on me.

[DemoTex]

16. Joe-Six-Pack and Hockey-Mom are way up there too!

:puke:
