................. and expressions.

There are a lot of words and expressions that are used very often in statements and debates to an extent where the true meaning disappears behind a veil of superficiality and shalowness .........


...... you all know those terms and expressions. Almost everybody regularly uses them. Can you give us your favourites, the most bewildering or the ones who annoy you the most ?


I'll start: I am outraged ..... even better: I'm outráááááged .....

You are of topic, marauder.

Please learn how to read. I stated "where the true meaning disappears behind a veil of superficiality and shalowness ........."

You simply stated a few terms that are used a lot in certain debates. That's not this threads' subject.

D-Day is an actual military term. Although I agree if your point is that it is used too often outside of a military context.

Exactly. D-day means the day a military force arrives at its destination. It shouldn't be used mainly to refer to the begining of operation overlord. Same with ground zero and the world trade center attack.

I'd say his examples qualify. Hey, you're the one who asked a subjective question...
