Basically

Basically - Something is...or it isn't.  How can it be basically?   I just had a call from a salesman who said, "Basically, my name is Scott and....."   Basically your name is Scott?  Basically it was a blue car...basically I am disappointed...basically?????  I know it probably became a nervous habit back in 6th grade when you thought it made you sound smart...but basically it's not working for you anymore.

Bucket Head

Bucket List - I saw a tweet from Ruth Buzzi that said she made a bucket list: "....a 5 gallon plastic pail, 2 old drywall mud containers, and 3 galvanized buckets."  (or something close to that) I think that about sums it up!!

Do?

"Do" - When did people stop having and start doing?  When I order from a menu I have something to eat; I do not do something to eat.  I'll have the chowder but I will not do the chowder.

Do Not Pass Go

"Incarcerated" - Why is it that the only people to use this word are either those that are in jail or their relatives?  Come on!  Could it be that it's the only 5 syllable word you know?  Admit it, you are in jail, in prison, in the pokie, locked up, in the hoosegow, tossed in the brig, in stir, in the big house, or been sent up the river!!

Been Where and DID What?

"Been there done that" - Oh yeah?  If you have no more clever retort than this then I guess you have...except for school because you missed the days we studied grammar and creativity.

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.......
