I love the bonus lecture, too, and I always hate hearing cliché used as an adjective. I don't know if I'm sorry to hear that it's becoming accepted, or whether I can stop hating it because now it's somehow "right"! :-D

Hee! I totally know that feeling. I'm old and cantankerous, so I usually go with option A, with a side helping of prickly self-righteousness. Heathens. ;-)
