I have developed a bingo board which I pass to fellow cynical class-mates and we have redirected the annoyance that comes with these phrases into enjoyment. In ethics, this might be called "over-accepting".
- "I just want to push back against that a little..."
- Any sentence involving the word "paradigm" (particularly if this paradigm is doing any shifting)
- "Just to Piggy-back on that comment..."
- The phrase: "useless head knowledge"
- "Vision-casting"
- "Calling" (this is a Dordt College hangover)
- Incarnational/Transformational (esp. when used in the same sentence)
- Buzz-word (this word has become self-defining)

your phrases are more amusing than mine. while no one here speaks of "calling", "paradigm" does frequent our vocabulary, although usually in a negative (or at least critical) light. words i could handle not hearing/using for the rest of the semester: agency, metanarrative, semiotics, binary, decentering... and as for judith butler, feel free to visit now and then but i don't think we can be b.f.f.
Dan, remember "two dads" in political science?
i'm curious, does your school teach you to hate the people/theories that my school teaches me to embrace?
