Trite Words and Phrases in Action

Have many times have you heard these things? They're trite, but the following words and phrases have a purpose that I'm exercising, right here, right now. Yes, there is plenty of parenthese abuse going on. (shrug it out...)

jumped the shark --

• Facebook (Unwelcome to my parents, the friends who feel the need to microblog their entire existence, folks I hated in high school, the "people you may know" box creep me out. Ugh.)
• snark (When it's all a person can dish out, it's not funny)
• patriotism (Oh, so because your candidate lost, patriotism is dead, huh? Maybe your party perverted it, then.)
• pirates (These ain't the Disney type, that's for sure.)
• that coworker who has been coasting along doing nothing, and thinks no one noticed.

"But (he/she/they) bit off of XYZ...as I bite off (him/her/them)" --
