Hot Mess

I'm wondering what constitutes a hot mess.  Does it supersede a royal mess?  Does it pack more punch than just saying that something is a mess?  Lumpy mashed potatoes or burnt eggs might be classifiable as a hot mess but I think little else does.  

Text Messaging and Online Chat Abbreviations

All I need to say is that any adult that uses OMG, HMU, and so forth need to turn in their adult license and return to middle school.

At The End Of The Day

At The End Of The Day - This phrase is really getting under my skin.  I think in the last week I have heard it on sound bites from the Oscars, Capital Hill, and the sports report.  BORING!  Let's revert to, "when it's all said and done", or "when the dust clears".

Guru

Guru - Note to whomever was the first to tie the word guru with computers and technology....STOP IT!! I am not now, nor will I ever be, a guru of anything.  A guru is a teacher or a master...sure I.T. guys can be all that but we'd rather you just call us by name.

Enough Is Enough

'Nough Said - 'Nuff Said - or any variation thereof - This idiom does not accomplish much more than to brand the utterer a lowbrow conversationalist.  A more timely observation may be the tagging of pictures posted to social media along with that comment.  If a picture is worth a thousand words why not concede that your viewers get the point.

Sounds Like A Plan

Sounds Like A Plan - I think a plan is a multi-step process consisting of actions that take place in an order of some sort.  If someone says, "I'll be over at 7:00" and the other party says, "Sounds like a plan" I think they are mistaken.  What's the plan?  
"I will leave my house; get in my car; drive over to your house, and wait for you to come out and get in the car."
Now, THAT'S a plan.
