I can not stand the following terms that gossip writers use: Slam, slammed, canoodled, rubbished reports, unfounded and a close friend reports...why would a close friend report anything to the tabloids? When they say, slammed reports, it often doesn't even apply to the situation. Oh another term I am glad to see lessening in use is, "i just threw up a little" and other variants of it, except "first" on posts is not loosing any ground I am sad to see.
I now feel better.
