What words or phrases are you sick of hearing...

Waingro · Mar 25, 2003

...and can't wait for this war to end for the sole reason of not being bombarded with them any longer?

Here are a few of mine:

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Duct tape
Embedded
Support the Troops
Bushies
No Blood for Oil
Regime (and, of course, regime change)
Shock and Awe
Doctrine
Human shield
Ole 5-to-4
Resolution 1441
Freedom fries (or any other rips on France)
Invasion
Sanctions
Inspections
Anti-war
Pro-war
Hawks
Libs
Geneva Convention
Idiot

I'll post more as I think of them.

Feel free to do the same...

Wow.

Barb's right, though. This game would kill even Keith Richards if played longer than about twenty minutes.

I am sick of hearing USA being called America.
America is a continent, not a country.

Facts:

Do you think soccer clubs called America
(Cali, Mexico, Brazil, etc) were named after the USA? Noooo, they were named after the continent.

There is a reason that the chant at the Olympics,
World Cup and other international events is:
USA, USA, USA!!!!! If you say America, America!!!
You are confusing most of the Christian World.

Other influential countries don't called the USA, America. For example:
France: le state unit (sp.)
Italy: Stati uniti
Spain and Latin America: Estados Unidos
Only some english speaking countries call USA
America. They are USA, UK, Australia. I doubt a
Jamaican or Bahamian would refer to the US as
America, because they live in the American
continent and therefore they are americans, too.

By the way, Latin Americans have a tough time
naming peoples from the USA.
1) definitely, USA'ers are not called Americans,
because they are americans, too. The media sometimes uses "North Americans". But that name includes Mexicans and Canadians as well. So it's not good either.
2) The other name which is widely used is "gringos"
but that name can be racist and it may only include
people that look anglo. Therefore, a
hispanic-american or non-white would feel
excluded being called gringo, when they are and aren't at the same time.
3) Some South Americans or Spaniards would use
yanquis, but to someone from the USA, yankees
means somebody from the north, therefore excluding US Southeners.
4) The best description would be the one used by
Latin Americans: Estadounidenses, or in english:
United Stater.

It sounds odd the first time you hear it, but at least
it best describes USA peoples, and helps correct a huge error in history.

To all: I am not anti-american. I just want to
set the record straight. If America would have been
called Columbia (as it should have been named from the beginning), I would have complained to the
Colombians and say that Colombia is not a country,
it was a continent first.

I know what you mean and I agree. The continent should be renamed so that the little brown people won't feel bad that they are overshadowed.
