Random Word-Phobia

[viruswshoes]

I hate, loathe and despise the term "veggies." I always have. It sounds so gelatinous, so chirpy. Every time I hear someone say that, no matter HOW they say it, I hear it as though it's being uttered by a former high school cheerleader-turned elementary school teacher - that is, saccharine, phony, and a little oppressive.

Really now, why must we communicate like we're still toddlers?
