Things I wouldn't mind never hearing again

"top of the food chain" (to refer to humans)

Makes me want to respond "No, that'd be the bacteria."

But seriously, folks, the food "chain" is cyclic. When I was in school that concept was explained even to the stupidest pupils.

Maybe I should reply "Yeah, I wrote a song at the top end of the circle of fifths, and my brother celebrates his birthday on the uppermost day of the yearly seasonal cycle."

Sheesh.

Stay tuned for the next installment: what separates man "from animals". (I suppose the speaker could be claiming allegiance to the vegetable kingdom.) Best entries in this category are, of course, things not unique to humans!

And about concepts and stupidity, too? Yeah, I think you're on to something there. ;-)

Let's shorten it to "Man is the animal that bitches" shall we?

In which case I could make an argument that dot_cattiness represents the *cough* Most Evolved community on LJ.

But I won't.
