Subject: RE: what phrases do you hate?
Someone mentioned "pre-owned". I'm puzzled over the phrase "certified pre-owned" in car ads. I guess they guarantee that the car is used, whereas if it isn't certified, it's possible that the car may actually not be used at all. I'd sure be pissed if I was buying a used car and got a brand new one instead at the same price.
