All the new words that I’ve learned in the past few years have come from Trump. He’s had some doozies.

Heard a guy in the grocery store tell someone his father had been 'funeralized' earlier today.


I’m never Going to be able to show my face at that grocery store again.

My favorite all time phrase came from a cop, who described a suspect in custody as having just engaged in an "armed robbathon".

Im always amused when i hear a commercial on tv with a woman assuring her family that she has purchased a "fruneral plan" for when her time comes.

I still think "passed away" is strange.

Not nearly as stupid as "passed." When people say that it is sort of like they don't want to say die and that way it didn't really happen. Well, guess what? The person they are referring to is dead, finis, kaput, whatever. No matter how it is phrased the guy died.

The new one I heard yesterday was "self-depreciating".

I've heard some of the black folks around here call funerals "send-offs" or "homecoming".

[Oral] Roberts' fundraising was controversial. In January 1987, during a fundraising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would "call him home." However, the year before on Easter he had told a gathering at the Dallas Convention Center that God had instructed him to raise the money "by the end of the year" or he would die

God is an extortionist? Who knew?

Seriously, Roberts was literally claiming extortion by the Almighty.

I like the new euphemism. "Celebration of life."
