Show Biz: Tuesday 11/11/08

*** Happy Veterans Day. A quick reminder...there will be coverage of the Morris Veterans Day service on our sister station, 103.1 FM, WCSJ.


*** On the show today we gave you the top 10 most irritating phrases in the English language, according to Oxford University in England. Here's the complete list:

1. "At the end of the day"
2. "Fairly unique"
3. "I personally"
4. "At this moment in time"
5. "With all due respect"
6. "Absolutely"
7. "It's a nightmare"
8. "Shouldn't of"
9. "24/7"
10. "It's not rocket science"

How can a list like this not include the phrase that irritates me the most, "It is what it is."

Here are a few others that are bothering me lately...

* "Recession"
* "Economic downturn"
* "Deflation"

Getting real tired of those.


*** The nominees for the People's Choice Awards have been announced. You can vote for your favorites here. The show will air on CBS January 7th.
