It came up a lot during Enron,
Of course it did. Damn frat boys.
We already had "cards on table," "under the hood," "get down to brass tacks" and a number of other perfectly serviceable cliches. Why did we need one conjures a racist 14-year-old?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Why did we need one conjures a racist 14-year-old?
Um, because some people always need to use the newest slang (so they can look more with-it, or confuse more people, or something like that), and everything vaguely socially acceptable was already taken?
Or because some people are idiots -- but I repeat myself.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been getting calls - at work - from a company that wants me to answer their survey questions. They always get me at a bad time, but I doubt I'd answer anyway: first, I refuse to take part in these phone surveys; second, they seem to be calling from overseas on a truly terrible connection; three, the people calling are working from a script that they seem to have never seen before. Also, between the lousy connection and very strong accent, I can barely understand them.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
{{{Cash}}} I'm so sorry. I'd really like all of us to get a break at this point. I know life isn't fair, but we're veering into the territory of Just. Too. Much.

with a rapid-fire change of pace, I would like us to note that the Game of Thrones guys put GWB's head on a pike. WTF.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Speaking as someone who has actually worn a kimono, it is a long and arduous process that involves a lot of cursing.
Maybe that's just me, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fuck, Cash. I'm sorry.

Oh, Cash. Cancer really needs to fuck off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Cash.
