Well it works better when I can deadpan it while holding a charger and batteries in my hand than it does when I type it out on the internet.

"Of late." As in: "The Patriots have done a poor job of late of getting Moss involved."
Is "of late" ever superior to "lately"? And yet, I swear that over the past couple months, I've seen "of late" at least 10 times more often than I've seen "lately" in fantasy football contexts.
It's not quite as bad as always utilizing "utilize" instead of "use" (which is also very common in fantasy football contexts), but it's getting there.

I usually don't listen to sports radio but flipped on today to hear a caller say "well, I watch about a 100 Cardinal games a year.." so I quickly turned back to the previous station playing commercials.

Ball security..
"Adrian Peterson has had a problem with ball security"...

I prefer the old fashion term jock strap, but to each their own. In my mind, though, those rascals can never have too much security. If I was foolsih enough to shop on black friday i would wear a cup for ball security. Those bargain hunters are ruthless. That's right, not a single Ruth among them.Ball security..

I actually like this one.
General Malaise
Footballguy
YES!I never heard this term a day in my life until last year or so. Then, I heard it everywhere. Is this a new term or has it always been there, lying dormant and just waiting for some pretentious crew to pick it up and whitewash the world with it?

Always been there; it's just now the latest vogue buzzword.

in the context of movies, hell yes. Attempts to take the stigma away from "remake", when there should be plenty of stigma still attached.

This one has to have been mentioned before and if it hasn't, It'll be a surprise to me. This has to stop. Immediately.
I saw a commercial for that new movie with Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and some hag. The narrator said "It's LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY". I hate that. It's not creative at all, it's trite, it's painful to hear regarding any movie, let alone one that won't be watched by anybody under 40. Just irks the hell out of me.

A coworker recently took the last 2 weeks off. I asked her how it was."Oh it was nice, didn't do much. After all of the hectic end of year business, I just needed some time to reboot"

You don't need to say anything, sport. Put your money out there; the dealer will probably know you're not splitting 11.So what should I say to the dealer when I get 11?Tom Servo said:

No need to say "home run" any more either. Just say "Full count to Pujols...swings...and he gets to go home."He might know it, but why should the phrase be retired when it's exactly what should be said, chief?You don't need to say anything, sport.

Where do you fall on: "I don't care how the sausage is made, I just want it to taste good".
