Vocabulary Snob
What a way to start the day. I normally listen to Morning Edition on KUT and it just happens to be supported locally by a Lexus dealership. What rankles me more and more every day I hear their announcement is the word "pre-owned." This is an abomination of English vocabulary that Lexus successfully foisted upon us years ago, but I just can't take it anymore. It's a fucking used car people! That's all it is. Euphemism is the enemy of truth. People use this dirty word in normal conversation, why? Do any of you have "favorite" nonsense words? Do let me know.

In these times where political correctness and euphamisms have taken over, we have decided on a new marketing direction for our business ventures.
From now on my bitches will no longer be known as prostitutes, but rather "pre-owned".
Thank you,
The Management

Am I the only person who understands that you, like moose, is both singular and plural?
