- Why does Kumcatcher Kardashian, or whatever Kardashian sister it is, say 'people have misconceptions about California, but most of them are not true' in one of those California tourism commercials? That is a horrendously redundant statement. All you have to say is 'people have conceptions (or other variants, like 'ideas' or 'conceived notions', whatever) about California'. Then again, the Kardashians themselves are redundant, so it's kinda fitting.
- Why do people say that one has 'a bun in the oven' when referring to a pregnant woman? Have you ever baked just one bun? You're usually baking several at once to save energy and time. Unless you're referring to the Octomom, a new baked good should take over for the archaic and cliched 'bun'. That would be kinda hard, though. Having 'a loaf in the oven' would sound like you need to take a rather large shit, and if you have a pie or a muffin in the oven, your underwear might be too goddamned tight.
Cake might work. "She has a cake in the oven" should be the new standard, especially since it involves frosting.
- Why does the phrase 'cold as Hell' exist? Last time I checked, Hell is hot. Like, really hot. Why comment on the frostbite-inducing sub-zero weather by comparing it to something that is the exact opposite? Nobody says 'oh, fuck, this heatwave sucks. It's hotter than Pluto!'. And why do people say 'sexy as shit'? 'Sexy as fuck' I can understand, but unless you have some weird-ass fetish, or some weird ass fetish, shit isn't particularly sexy. At least not in my opinion. You readers can disagree if you wish.
