Population Control

A recent conversation about use of the word ”EXpresso” got me thinking that we could really thin out the English-speaking population by just instantly executing people that say that.  Malthusian benefits aside, I tried to file that one away in my big book of Kinda Mean Things I Will Never Admit I Think Even Though I Secretly Really Do.  But then I remembered how I feel the same way about people who abbreviate et cetera to ‘ect.’ or pronounce it “EXetera” (you see where I’m going with this?)

So then I’m like “Okay okay okay! If a person says EXpresso (or worse, EXpecially) AND they also abbreviate et cetera as ‘ect.’, then it’s okay if they just self-destruct on the street like a suicide bomber (but with no collateral damage. So think more like an implosion than an explosion.)

Although an EXplosion would be ironic, don’t ya think?
