Anyone Else Getting Sick of the Word "Vitriol"?

You have gravitas.

Add in "fireworks" and "rhetoric" please.

It is what it is.

I don't watch the tube that much anymore, and I flat out can't watch any news, but this seems to be a trend. The word I remember them overusing at one point was "nightmare".
Too bad. I used to like the word vitriol.

Manchurian Candidate code word!!!!

Oh, yeah! "Rhetoric"...I'm all for having a good vocabulary, but damn, people. It gets to a point where I don't want to hear the word any more, and if I do, I'm going off the deep end. Hell, maybe it's an MK Ultra trigger and I'm about to go on a rampage of bird-fucking and literary terrorism.

That is "reprehensible," Babe.

I was sick of it after the second time I heard it. People just want to say it because everyone else is saying it. sheeple

Yes.

This thread is vitriolic.

It's part of the 'libtard lexicon'. Same as 'hubris'. If you've ever noticed......listen to sound bytes from the talking heads each morning (especially on Sunday mornings). They are handed their 'talking points memos' (per the DNC) on which words to give particular emphasis to. It's all part of the propaganda machine.

And diabolically vitriolic to boot

No.

I'm getting sick of my son saying "EPIC" and/or "FAIL"

all of this ...

imagine "them" sitting around with scrabble tards looking for magnetic words to permeate and guide the language being used for and to describe the ritual.

Yes.

It is a meme. La Raza used the word the other day when it condemned the Arizona shootings.

The buzz words are always used when tptb want to change or hide something. Things are not what they appear to be.

The "vitriolic" "rhetoric" in this thread is "reprehensible" in the most "diabolical" of ways.

I personally think they are about to release a car or drug to the market with the word "vitriol" as a prefix and they are just warming us up to it now. Or maybe we are just one big focus group for marketing and we don't yet know it... truly, it's a "blood libel".

'at the end of the day'


we're screwed ;)

the next person who says "off the hook" is going to get hung on one

Yes. And another word I never want to hear again is "unprecedented."

"VITRIOL... now fortified with extra cocaine."

and COMPREHENSIVE.
