I know what you mean. Society seems to sieze upon a particular word
and beat it to death.

One of the latest is "probiotic". You never heard the damn word
before a couple of years ago, now everything has to be "probiotic" or
it's worthless.

Another one is, "punk'd", as in, "Awww, you was punk'd!", as if
playing practical jokes on others all your life is a noble endeavor. I
understand it was an MTV show, but I've heard quite enough!

Just worry about "breakthrough" with your toilet paper. It can't get

P.S. On topic, too. James Stewart and Doris Day presently sitting
down to eat in Marrakesh with the Draytons in the film, "The Man Who
Knew Too Much", directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Short conversation
about which hand to use when dining with Muslims; hence, robbers and
thieves who get their right hands cut off are not welcome to eat in
the Muslim tradition.
