A quick search reveals that, other than my retort to this bizarre rant earlier today, I have never used the phrase attributed to me on LawTalkers at the very least. So, even more than usual, I don't know what the fuck she's talking about.

Well, after divining what I think she meant, she's partly correct (if she indeed wrote what I think she did)...
Anyone, no matter how toolish they are, can kill a word or phrase by deeming it, well, toolish. Paigow acts as a vocabularly filter, screening stale phrases/words from the board.
"Thanks for playing" was never a good phrase. It was always North Jersey. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I still dig whiff. I don't think it can be killed. Paigow is actually giving it a longer shelf life.
Something about this thread reminds me of David Foster wallace, so I'll take this opportunity to say he sucks.
