There are some words that really grate on a person. These tend to be overused "fad" words. Sometimes the words become more acceptable after a while - the word "awesome" comes to mind. As in "Totally awesome, dude". Yeah.
The word I object to this summer is "staycation".
It's like it's some brand new concept. Since gas prices are so high - people are opting to go "green" (another word that I find mildly offensive) and vacation at home. All of a sudden it's considered cool, hip, whatever...to see the sights around your own home town.
I'm not saying that it's a bad idea. On the contrary, I think it's great. It's just the word "staycation" that I object to.
I remember more than a decade ago having homemaking mini classes on great day trip locations. Fun parks, museums, trails....Hmm. Sounds like staycation to me.

Don't judge me and my "staycation". You'll take all the fun out of the black plastic slip 'n' slide...
I don't dislike the idea of a stay at (or near) home vacation - I just dislike the word "staycation".
I whole heartedly agree. "Staycation" has been irritationf me for weeks now.
