A Steaming Bowl of Words I Hate

Two words come to mind:

policy – I hate hearing the word “policy”. Like, “sorry, sir, it’s just our policy”. Now, I realize this could just be a case of a bum wrap. Sometimes policies are actually put in place to keep people from hurting themselves. Like if a Grand Canyon tour guide was like, “sorry, company policy says I can’t let you ride our donkey on the outside of the guard rail” – with it.

But when it’s just a vale for either laziness or just ‘the fucking you are now experiencing at the hands of our company’ then it is one of the worst words in the English language.

Second, guru – Sucks. Says nothing about credentials or bias but ESPN uses it all the time to describe any old asshole they’re inviting on the show. Eric Kasilias (spelling?) said it today on the radio – this is our guru on something or other – and a) I am not Eric’s biggest fan anyway and b) you could polish a guru and put it in a box and slap a guarantee on the box and all you’d get is a guaranteed piece of shit … yeah?

So no guru no policy only zen and love and the distant ring of a wind chime on a summer’s breeze.
