'Military Intelligence'
Sorry, someone had to say it  Also... on the beauty industry: 'micro-powders', 'blendable liquids', and 'nano-capsules'. Because I'm worth it? Nah, because they think I'm worth trying these lame techno-buzzwords on. Also...found on a packet of 'PG tips' tea bags: 'A great source of liquid' ? Eh? Surely one ADDS the high-temperature liquid? (you can tell these things wind me up) |

here's some meaningless phrases from singles ads...
"Looking for a real man" - uhhh, as opposed to what? a little wooden boy? "professional woman seeks professional man" - the fry cook at mcdonalds is a professional... just a professional fry cook. You have a job. Get over yourself! "I see the glass as half full" - well if it's arbitrary, why not see it as completely full? How pessimistic. Or better yet just call it what it is... half a glass! "Looking for a man's man" - er, wouldn't that mean he was gay? "must be financialy secure" - gold digger seeks credit cards _____________________

Oh dear, so many, the world is so full of BS nowadays, its unbelievable.
Beware of anything claiming to be "innovative", "best in class", "leading", and lets not forget all of that crap with aloe vera/essential elements/insert random useless additive. People are marketing an [expletivie deleted] YOGURT as if it was the mythical PANACEA!  |

Don't forget "classic", and "new and improved".

"Trail Rated" on an SUV... like anyone's taking these things on trails.
"Flat, 8 lane highway where you can be the most pretentious person on the road Rated" would be more fitting. |

Actually, that list should be reduced to 5.
Anyway back to the topic... "Aim away from face" "Toward enemy" (commonly found on land mines) |

"Sugar Free" and "No Sugar Added"
Read the label. I guess sucrose and fructose dont qualify.. ? "It's in you" (Gatoraide). It sure is.. Hydrogenated oil that is. _____________________

I have a box on my desk that I only allow myself to take one bag from a day because I can only replenish the supply when someone I know goes to England. Oh, okay, now I need to think of a phrase that doesn't mean anything or I will have hijacked the thread - how about ALL the phrases on a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Pure Castille Soap?http://www.drbronner.com/labels/alm.pdf |

heh... what about 'Organic Vegetables'?
I mean, it's been a long time since I studied biology or chemistry, but I've yet to see an inorganic vegetable, or anything else inorganic and edible either! _____________________
