|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Overused Words, 2009 Jody Gomez, Photographer Murrieta | CA | USA | Posted: 3:20 AM on 12.11.09 ->> I revisited this 2008 thread http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=30571 because I needed a laugh (it's way past my bedtime), and thought it would be fun to list the most overused words for 2009. My contribution would be.... Douche as in "Don't be a douche!" and "What a douche bag!" This word was awful in the 80's and it's awful today (even though the way it's used is funny). My other contribution is Butt-Hurt - as in "Don't get all butt-hurt about this!" Okay boys and girls, let's hear the overused words for 2009. Jody  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?
