Word Moratorium

Watching an episode of Room Raiders this weekend, the word "diva" came up. Bobby, Sarah, and I discussed how the word has become overused, and should be abolished. I'd also like to nominate "random", in almost all non-statistical forms of usage. This includes someone being described as "A Random" (n), as well as 74% of all weblogs titled "My Random Thoughts" (adj).

I would like to vote for a moratorium on using the word "connect" as a noun. There already IS a noun for what you are trying to say, honey. It's "connection." Huh. Same old word we've been using for years. So shut up about all the fucking "connects" that are missing here and there and there and there, because the only thing that I hear missing is the "tion." Sing it with me: t-i-o-n ...shun shun shun shun. I would like to vote for a moratorium on using the word "connect" as a noun. There already IS a noun for what you are trying to say, honey.
