Why do people say what they do?
Do they even think about what they say?
"That's so _____."
"You're so _____."
"This is _____."
"What a _____."
I guarantee that everyone who lives outside of a totally isolated steel box at the bottom of the sea has heard hurtful words that fill in these blanks. Every. Single. Day. And, turns out, people are expanding their vocabulary horizons. I've been hearing a new blank filler more and more. And I don't like where it's going.
Didn't anyone ever go to kindergarten? "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." What a better world it would be if everyone would just stop for a moment and THINK. (Try it. Once you get the hang of it, it's not so hard.)
