Interesting that Walken appears in both clips. He's aged well.

And that's that.

Sometimes typing is saved by using other words or shortened versions but does cray cray save anything ?
Not only does it sound stupid and juvenile, it doesn't even make sense to me.

I don't know why, but I also loathe that expression. Someone has actually titled their thread "Cray Cray" in one of the health sub forums.

Sick of seeing the misuse of these words nearly every time I read something online:

1. "viral" - as in, "Funny baby farting video goes viral"

2. "hack" - as in, "Ten toilet-cleaning hacks that really work!"

Stop with the viral hacks already!!!

Everyone already knew the meaning of "shortcuts" and "household hints", so...why have so many people decided to replace those terms with "hacks"?

Because it may cause a young adult to clean their toilet more often?

...or it may cause a person who takes things literally to take an ax to his toilet!

Lately I keep hearing the phrase "That's not who we are" as a way of avoiding blame as a group when a member of that group does something wrong.


I always want to snap back, "Um, well, yes. I guess that IS who you are if someone in your group is doing it."


It's just a stupid generalization that I want to refute with another stupid generalization.
