"Let me be absolutely/perfectly/crystal fucking clear"

Is it just me or has this phrase spread like a metastatic cancer through the political diction in the past year.

Every time i hear it i wish i lived in the states so i could at least shoot the TV.

It makes my blood curdle, especially as it's followed by the inevitable obsfuscating evasion of anything that might even be mistaken for an appropriate answer to the question being asked.

In fact i don't even care about politicians being muscus slathered slippery cunts i just wish they'd find a new phrase.

Speaking of misc. and meaningless, the phrase, or variant of, 'because it is the right thing to do' has infiltrated most statements of political policy, rendering all reasoned argument useless.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
