I heard 'boo-ey' all over the country, unfortunately. And it is
'burglarize', surely?

The brilliant thing about "burglarize" is how they then
backfilled the language to justify it.

You're not burgled, you're "burglarized".
You don't catch a burglar, you catch a "burglarizer".
You're not locked up for burglary, but "burglarization".

AAeeeiii!!!!



At its most fundamental, even 'Transportation', as in 'Department
of', is a symptom of this. And I hear that over here now, too.

"would sir require transportating to his destination?"

"Take to the department of transportatingation"


Sorry, a 'Sortation Facility'.




Another horror was that everything was 'an Experience', as in: "How was
your shopping Experience today?".
"Have a Nice Day".
