I went years without hearing that phrase.

Now it's every day. Every frickin day on tv.

Can we just ban it?

Right? It took one press briefing and now it's a phrase in common usage.

Right. I never heard it until KJP said it.

Now it's every day.

I heard it twice within a hour on fox news the other day.

A retarded amalgamation of "off the top of his head" and "on his mind"

Gotta reinforce the narrative at all costs. Smoke and mirrors deployed at max level to keep the stupids in this country from seeing exactly how bad this administration really is.

Top of mind.

“It probably just wasn’t on top of his mind.”

Is different from

“Top of mind”

Fwiw

It sounds like some confabulation of an American English idiomatic expression like “I had it in the back of my mind” mixed up with “top of the agenda” or “my first thought”, filtered through a foreign Asian language translation and back again into English. Anyway, I’ve been around a long time and I’d never heard it in English usage until this latest burst of stupidity.

Orwellian NewSpeak

Before 9/11 I had never hear the United States referred to as the "Homeland". Not even once. Then they created DHS and a quarter of a million agent domestic surveillance agency to monitor the "homeland".

Watters says it when he’s mocking KJP, it’s pretty good.

Yep. We're in that arena and it's common to hear it. I don't particularly care for it but its industry language.

Yep, been around for years, but no one else uses it in common vernacular.

Why the frick a Wah press secretary is up on marketing terms instead of civics terms is beyond me. Guess it shows where her area of emphasis cane from.

Do you remember when Cheney brought "gravitas" to Bush's campaign?

At the time I was like "What in the hell is gravitas?"
