It's always "on the ground" this, "on the ground" that. It's starting to annoy me.
That's all.

| 16. I'm tired of the word "lawmaker" |
|
It makes politicians seem more "lofty" and "dispassionate".
I cringe when I hear it.

| 22. Ever worked in a restaurant where they said "on the floor"? |
|
"You're on the floor" as in, you're supposed to be out in the dining area.
It annoyed me silly.
