  1. Funny and true! I'll add that "unique" means "slightly harder to find than a Smith-Corona Galaxie."

    Yep - it's starting to be more like house descriptions from estate agents (e.g. 'with character' should be read as 'dilapidated' etc).
    Another one I've come to realise is 'untested', invariably meaning 'broken'... :)

  3. You forgot "Steampunk." "Steampunk" means "I have no idea what to do with a typewriter, I just want to sell it for somebody's art project."
