Slang words that bother me. For instance, we hear a lot about psychologists....but they're called shrinks.
Police officers are referred to as cops and that upsets me too.
Are we becoming too blasé about important occupations. When I hear our president referred to as just Obama...it irritates me. He deserves more.
Now let's take a lowly job...a janitor is referred to as a building supervisor.
A garbage man is called a sanitation worker. I'm glad that teachers are still teachers in education.
The word 'nerd' also bothers me. Sounds like a despicable person...but it's really someone who is very up on technology.
A stripper in a bar gets the title...exotic dancer.
A lot of the media today I have to refer to as 'sleeze' because they go on and on about someone's misfortunes. They'll interview someone in the family who has just lost a loved one...and ask what they're feeling. These people are still in shock and disbelief and don't need the media breathing on them.
Anyway, we had a toy store...so we were still a merchant. Glad that the dollar stores didn't exist then.
