    It's truly beyond me how any adult can get so excited about any one knocking a ball do a hole ...kicking it into a goal ,bashing  it over Annette or hitting it with a bat......
    What bemuses me even more is the vast sums of money the players get paid and then how they think of them selves as som kind of God....
    I'm in ore of Nurses ,Heath workers, Firemen ....enviromentilist .....Guys and Gals like Sir David Attenborough 
    of which these people get hardly any money in comparison...
    Its a strange world we live in......back to front in my view....:(

    Rap.  

    Going everywhere fixated on a "smart" 'phone. (Incidentally, how can an inanimate object be "smart", except aesthetically?) Recently I watched a young woman walking along a town-centre street while cultivating RSI of the thumbs, to see if she would avoid the scaffolding in her path. She did. Perhaps her 'phone had a radar "app". 

    "Celebrity culture" - some suffix uses of "culture" remind me not of constructive human achievement, but of nasty pathogens on agar plates...

    Illicit drugs. And that's a serious point there.

    Dating services. (Legal but shady.)

    Facebook.

    The tastes, acts and desires of the supposed "Great Family We-all" - as in "Now we all - " - shop on-line / listen to pod-casts / slavishly follow this-that-or-the-other-critically-approved entertainments and foods whilst avoiding those critically-abjured. I invented the name after reading examples of "now we all..." in some national newspaper's pretentious, London-centric, glossy weekend supplement.

    Infantile and inelegant replacements for good, proper words. E.g. "fracking" ([hydraulic] fracturing), "push-back" (resistance, objection to, declining, refusing), "inspirational" (inspiring)...

    Ahhhhh!

    Would it help mend your heart if I were to say for myself,

    "Not coffee per se, which I like; but coffee-flavoured milk froth sprinkled with chocolate shavings and squiggly patterns in the bubbles, served with a cod-Italianate name at equally-pretentious cost in trendily high-price / low-value chain cafes"?
