Whither the words of yesteryear?
How come no one "bloviates" or engages in "transgressive" behavior anymore? The continual iteration of those terms was irritating, but I'm getting really sick of "artisanal," the new It word, and feel wistful for them now.

Battle of the Amazons
Nondetachment
Beginning again
Birthday fatigue
Whither the words of yesteryear?
Now I'm really screwed
Blame the victim
Clusterfuck
Infinity in all directions
Is this going to jinx it?
A weekend in the country
