Re: Oxford compiles list of top ten irritating phrases
I work with a lot of political committees that have the words "Friends of" in their names. One of these was an inocuously-named "Friends of Education" or some such drivel. Usually these groups are set up for bond referenda in their county or school district.
When will I ever get to see a group called "Foes of Education"? I'm just looking for a little balance here, people.

Remember, folks, you can't spell "douche" without "Che."
