Every time a podcast host, announcer or game caller pats himself on the back using the word segue to describe what he just did. If it's a smooth transition, why people feel the need to screw up the intended flow by interjecting the word by directly referencing what just happened over and over and over again ad nauseam, the result of which ends up reversing what just happened because its now no longer a smooth transition (that should have been barely noticed or not noticed at all by the audience when done correctly). It reminds me of the baseball player who hits a deep shot to center field, thinking its surely a homerun, stares it down, starts the trot and turns a sure double or triple into a single because it doesn't even clear the fence. I think one host used the term "multiple segues going on here now" ... really? Now its multiple segues? The very definition of the word contradicts what actually happened when you make a proud reference to it.
If a toddler quietly sneaks up behind their mom in order to surprise them and as they make their approach, in a loud whisper says, "I am sneaking up behind you, mommy!" By uttering the words they are no longer quiet nor surprising anybody.
Please stop the segue references and just complete the segue ... naturally proceed from one scene or topic to another without jarring the audience. A good segue makes the transition look natural and effortless. It doesn't call attention to itself like a billionaire calls attention to his large donations.
