Words I am Done With

[skip.knox]

You presume politics was previously hinged.

Going forward, here's another: going forward. The phrase is either superfluous, or is a poor synonym for "do" or other simple action verb. Whenever you hear it, see if it's necessary. It can be a party game. When the phrase is needed, take a drink. Everyone drives home sober.

Politics has always been unhinged, it’s now to the point of deranged... which is also overused in X derangement syndrome. Done with that one also, heh heh.

[Mythopoet]

Unhinged... I used to like this word, modern politics has made it meaningless... pretty much what modern politics does to everything.

It should really only be used in a sentence like "and then he unhinged his jaw and swallowed the hero whole."

 

[Demesnedenoir]

Or, ate the politician whole... which is always a happy ending, heh heh.
