"Product"

Short rant. Overheard nephew responding, "No way. I don't use no product". Since he was talking to who knows who over his mobile, I was scared to death that he was referring to some illicit "product". Course I was glad he said he wasn't "using".

Today I am in the barber shop and I hear the check out gal say, "Do you want product today"? What the heck!? Barber shop drug distribution? What has happened to the world!

Turns out they were both talking about hair gel. Sheesh. What's the world coming to when marketers disguise simple Pomade and Butch Wax as "product".

I tell you that to tell you this: Why can we just say what we mean and mean what we say. And you thought I couldn't work JB lyrics into another post.
