Guess What Day It Is? {Wednesday Hodgepodge}

1. Every January 1st since 1976 Lake Superior University has published a list of words they'd like to see banished from the Queen's English.  Words may be banished due to misuse, overuse or just general uselessness (go here to read more about how the words were chosen).  Here are the words/phrases they'd like to see banished in 2014-
selfie, twerk/twerking, hashtag, Twittersphere, Mr. Mom, T-bone, ____on steroids, the suffixes-ageddon, and -pocalypse added to anything and everything, from the world of politics the words-intellectually/morally bankruptand Obamacare, and from the world of sports the words-adversity and fan base
Which of these words/phrases would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why? Is there a word not on the list you'd like to add?

Some of the words/phrases listed I haven't heard before.  The phrase "What Day Is It?" makes me want to scream!!  I'm so sick of that dumb camel commercial.

One word that my 16 year old son says constantly is 'Player'.  It similar to 'dude', 'bro', 'hommie'.  Quite frankly, all of them drive me crazy!

2. What one unfinished project nags at you begging to be completed in this new year?

This is going to sound silly, but… Our first home did not have central air. We had window air-conditioners.  We moved into our new home in 2005, which has central air.  For some reason, my husband brought along a window air conditioner during the moving process.  This air conditioner has been sitting in our garage since 2005!  Every summer I ask him to get rid of it.  Every summer he does not.  This summer I am going to outsmart him by putting the air conditioner in his car trunk.  He won't be able to put the golf clubs in until the air conditioner is gone!  Bwhahaha!


3. When did you last have a bowl of soup? What kind? Homemade or from a can? What's your favorite soup?

Tomato soup and grilled cheese with my son.  It was from a can.  My favorite is Tomato Basil. (Panera Bread makes the best!)  I do make homemade soups though.  The family favorite is chicken noodle with veggies.

4. Snowed in, snowed under, snow job...which one most applies to your life in recent days, figuratively speaking.

Snowed in. Currently iced in and arctic like temperatures too!  Not fun to be in Pennsylvania right now.  

5. What's the funniest movie you've ever seen, or at least one of the funniest?

We are the Millers!  (has nothing to do with the last name, honest!)

After the credits roll there are a couple funny bloopers.  OMG!  Funny!!!!

6.  In general, would you say you're clumsy?

Ya know, I never considered myself clumsy.  But now that I think about it, I do run into an occasional wall when I'm not looking.  

7. Elvis Presley was born on Hodgepodge Day (January 8th) back in 1935.  Are you an Elvis fan?  What's your favorite Elvis tune? If that's too hard, which Elvis tune do you dislike the least?  Click here for a list of his songs.

I remember watching Elvis movie reruns as a kid.  I wouldn't consider myself an Elvis fan.  Don't love him, don't hate him.  A song that I do like is "Love Me Tender".

8. Insert your own random thought here.
