Banned Words and Phrases

Filed under: Personal   Tagged:

Image from the just discovered Other People Exist ("Studies have shown that even when they are no longer there, other people continue to exist, with thoughts, feelings and desires just like you"), also the source of this wonderful screed against pet costuming.

2. "not so much"
3. impact (noun or "verb")
