Veggies. I hate the word veggies. What's so damn hard about saying vegetables ?

"Veggies" means vegetarians in England. Vegetables would be "veg".

I get annoyed at "rebut" being misused, especially when public figures are trying to lie their way out of some embarassing revelations.

"Rebut" means to prove that some allegation is untrue. Just saying it is not true is not a rebuttal, but when it gets described as such people are liable to tricked into thinking that the charge has in fact been rebutted, or disproved, when in fact it has just been denied.
