Two False Words

[KFCarter]

my favorite is genuine faux.

a close cousin to the less pretentious "genuine imitation..." and the just plain weird, "real simulated..."

[kilty]

I like "original copy".

[Weasel Mender]

You forgot wonderful phrases like "batteries not included" and "some assembly required" two of my yuletime favorites

'New and Improved' - which means they have been selling us 'Old and Rubbish' for years and years.

Which brings to mind a whole new class of words... two words that shouldn't appear in the same sentence together, but do...

Like:

"Congealed" and "Salad"

[puckhead9]

My favorite is "no tools required" - right!!

[long_hand]

Or "parkway" and "driveway"...I'm fairly certain that if you do what the name intended on either, something bad is gonna happen.

Then there are few, but they exist unfortunately, items that say "no directions neccessary"...and yet, they give you directions...sometimes just in Spanish or even Korean.

Someone should trademark the name "Leading Brand" and run with it...

Would never work. Then everyone would think that any other product on the shelf is better

How can something be both new and improved? If it were new, then there wouldn't have been something upon which to improve... and if it's been around long enough to be improved, then obviously it isn't new...
