Angry Language Guy

Your large vocabulary is only useful if you are using the words correctly. Ironic use is acceptable, but only sparingly.

You say, "Shibboleth."
You mean, "Sacred cow."

You say, "Hoi polloi."
You mean, "High society."

You say, "Operation Iraqi Freedom."
You mean, "War without end."

============
I have been guilty of misuse in the past, so I guess I'm self-loathing or something.
