Nice

If a man is allowed to hate one word with a passion, that word for me would be “nice”. Clichés are at least mildly amusing, though it is really someone else’s words, and probably for some other totally different occasion. “Nice” is just a word, not even a cliché, and the laziest excuse for an adjective. I don’t want to hear about you visiting nice houses, going to nice parties, seeing nice vistas, meeting some nice people at the nice funeral service. I’d rather you skip the word and just say “I met some (insert positive word here) people”. That, at least, would be a little funny.


But let me stop right here as I’m currently multi-tasking and playing Zynga poker on another tab. Let’s see if I can win some nice hands.
