    For years, until Vince McMahon resigned, the WWE announcers were told that they could never say they word “hospital.” If a wrestler, in storyline, was beaten up and taken out i a stretcher, the announcers would always say that they were taken to a “local medical facility.” They’d make it sound like a guy could be run over by a car multiple times and get treated at a proctologist’s office. It was annoying as hell.

    I always laugh when I see "road to hoe" because I wonder what they're growing in the road.

    Of course, they could have a prostitute in a sloop with them and be accurate in saying they're rowing a ho'

    I picked up "hone in on" something from Midwesterners.

    I'd be happy if everyone would quit writing, "Tom Brady completed passes to eight different receivers."

    Don't need the word "different." It's understood those eight receivers were not clones of the same guy.

    Not the crawl space, the craw space!
