Hello, and welcome to Curmudgeon Day here at the blog. It’s a day when I confess how much I hate a few common English terms.

First of all, I can’t stand it when people say “We’re pregnant.” It’s just too precious for my taste.

I hate the word “veggies.” I can’t say why, but I just do.

But mostly, I hate the term “bucket list.” If I were in charge, the only person allowed to reference a “bucket list” would be the owner of this shop, when he or she is preparing an order for new buckets.

* Sorry if I offended anyone. Maybe “offending readers of my blog” is on MY bucket list…..
