New Jargon

So, the other day, one of my commenters introduced me to some new jargon. (Thanks, Marek.)

FWIW

I had to google. Apparently, it stands for 'for what it's worth' or 'for whoever is wondering'.  (Which did you mean, Marek?) I hadn't heard it used before, but there were quite a few search results. Apparently it's already caught on. I'm glad to now be in the loop. And since you've read this post, you are now as well. You're welcome.

Over-Used Buzz Word that Annoys Me

Handcrafted.

It's everywhere.  My sandwich was handcrafted.  Really?  That's so shocking.  I thought there were robots with a conveyor belt.   My mojito was handcrafted?!  And I thought there was a packet of 'instant mojito', starbucks via style.

I'll stop now.

Does something being 'handcrafted' really add appeal?  My inner germophobe feels secretly relieved to think as few individuals as possible had a 'hand' in anything I'm about to consume.  Maybe that's just me.

Nevermind me as I search for a restaurant with the robots and conveyor belt....

We're on the Same Page....

So I was reading this month's Cosmopolitan magazine, and it had a feature about what's in/out for summer. In the 'out' list - distinctly - the 'buzzwords' recessionista and staycation! Yes! Cosmo and I are on the same page! In the 'in' column - resetting (?). It's apparently the new term of optimism for starting from scratch, as in, a do-over. I am not sure how I feel about this word, but I like the meaning behind it.

Now, while we're at it - the term 'buzzword'....
