760105 2009-03-30 23:41:00 There was a bloke on Morning Report today, talking about the downturn in car sales.....words to the effect....."people don't want to 'levverage' up their homes to get a car".

I thought it was house movers that levered up homes and put them on trailers.

Of course, you could 'levver' up your home, and then your car could be parked underneath. It would save building a garage.

760106 2009-03-31 04:05:00 'Toxic debt'.

That term pisses me off, and so does that gimp on TV One who constantly uses it, Tim Wilson, their US correspondant. Man that guy is annoying.

760108 2009-04-01 03:07:00 "Gearing"

No idea what these engineering terms mean when used relating to finance.

Gearing refers to the ability of the financier to slip quickly into 5th as they accelerate away in their Ferrari and flip you the bird out the window.

760109 2009-04-01 03:15:00 I hate "it's all good".

Seems like every sports person in an interview utters this phrase at some time in resposne to how they feel about something.

WTF does "its all good" mean? Its just a placeholder for saying anything. It's become the new "um" ....

760110 2009-04-01 03:34:00 I just hate the current fashion for mis-using words.
Like corncerning.
And dis - for disrespect, which is a noun, not a verb.
