Words I Hate VIII

“Sucks”


Is it me, or are certain elements trying to normalize the slang word “sucks”?

There’s some dude belligerently shouting at me on the radio that my marketing “sucks.” Then there’s a suave smooth voice notifying me that the economy “sucks” right now, so I should get me a franchise business.

Gosh, I’m gonna sound like my grandparents now, but, please. There’s a time and a place for everything. We may have given up on television, but let’s keep the radio airwaves somewhat child-safe, if not the least in the words we use to sell our products.

You stay classy, San Diego …
