To Drill or Not...

Pre-drill - When I watch home improvement shows and they are building something they often tell the viewers they are "pre-drilling".   Okay, are you drilling or not?  How do you pre-drill?  I would think that pre-drilling would be what you do before you drill.  Drilling a hole before drilling the same spot again used to be called drilling a pilot hole.  I'll stick with that.

Bigger Than Big

Big Time - I'm the first to agree that the two words together are not that bad.  I would have loved to have hit the big time.  On the other hand using the words to express agreement or to exaggerate the degree to which something has happened sounds low brow at best.  Fan One says, "The Browns got creamed."  Fan  Two, with beer in hand replies, "Big time!"
Nice.......
