Subject: RE: BS: Abuse of words
Calvary is the Episcopal church on the corner of Shady Avenue and Walnut Street. Cavalry are mounted soldiers.
Then there's shit. The most overused noun in American English. As in: "Get that shit off the table before dinner". (And then sterilize it please.) or "I got to get my shit together for the trip". (Can't you make more when you get there?)
Pissed off isn't much better. Get angry for heaven's sake. Nobody will wonder about your bladder.
