As a result of this the authority (them politicos) always came up with a new one when the previous one became fully derogative/offensive.

So yes, I too think the next one will even be more moronic in °p [(read "degree of p.o.o.") read "percent of optimism"]
That's the thing. They keep trying to come up with something that can't be turned into an insult. This bothers the people who like to insult.

Back on topic. "I'm just saying." That has got to be one of the cheesiest, smarmiest phrases ever.
