Can I has a break?
See what I did there? I know, right?
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people use these stupid “copy pasta” phrases, but it’s had to have been be over 9000… and I’m starting to get a wee bit tired of it. It seems that some people aren’t attuned to the infinite generativity that makes language so dang fancy. You see, words can be combined in new and exciting ways! You don’t have to hitch your nice boat to the latest memes or popular catchphrases. I know it’s fun to try them out once or twice (I do so myself, from time to time), but isn’t there a point when you should move on? And I don’t mean that everything a person says needs to be totally unique. I’m simply suggesting that there are cleverer ways to be clever than using stupid phrases that aren’t quite as fresh as people would have you believe.
