Post Overused Words & Phrases

This is just a small sample of the list as it was on my rotating news module and by the time I post the link it will be gone. I guess I could have gone to the source and got it but I didn't.

Tops on the Michigan university's list of useless phrases was "shovel-ready." The term refers to infrastructure projects that are ready to break ground and was popularly used to describe road, bridge and other construction projects fueled by stimulus funds from the Obama administration.

And speaking of stimulus, that word -- which was applied to government spending aimed at boosting the economy -- made the over-used category as well, along with an odd assortment of Obama-related constructions such as Obamacare and Obamanomics.

"We say Obamanough already," the LSSU committee said.

Ok here is the link if anyone wants to read the whole article.
