Could this cliche be a Tennyson-y one?

terrible - have hated it 4 years now

remember Sony using 'fun, anyone?' as PS2 slogan

the worst is the sentence like "At least it isn't as hard on the eyes as Travolta's more ambitious efforts (Battlefield Earth, anyone?) but Hairspray is blah blah blah"

Yah, I hate how they can't even be bothered to finish their sentences and just taper off into "blah blah blah."

not as bad as "natch" which thankfully seems to be on the wane.

"natch" always reeked of late-80s Smash Hits, to me.

i don't mind natch as much online but when i see it in print i get kinda angry.

For a long time I didn't even know what it meant! And I liked it better that way (natch).

I like using 'natch' in timed essays; often, I seem smart because of it, natch.

Espec when I misuse it.

natch = Zonker from Doonesbury for me
