Yes, quite good, but rather discriminatory and might cause offence to those who might be otherwise-ly abled.
Both "disabled" and "handicapped" are widely used and understood, and in most cases are not used to deliberately offend, therefore I am not going to get all angst-ridden looking for other ridiculous euphemisms on the assumption that "someone might be offended". :rolleyes: |

Bloody right. And first off by not calling them bathrooms.:rolleyes:
"Bathroom" feels very weird to say in the company of strangers, because I associate bathroom with said room in a house, and not any sort of commerical premise. |

Re: Overused / irritating words,phrases
Talking of which (bogs), in proportion to how often its acted upon, the sign on our office men's toilet door, saying "Please close the door", is vastly overused. It's an Asian-style layout, too, with the urinals in line-of-sight from the door. I always close it behind me, and invariably the next person to enter or leave wil leave it ajar, and the next person will leave it wide open. So there I am with my dick in my hand in full view of everyone passing in the corridor (there are modesty boards between each urinal, which probably do just about prevent direct cock-viewing, but only just). Bloody infuriating that people think they can open a door and leave it wide open -- why the **** was it closed in the first place?

But back on topic;
"Just to make it absolutely clear" followed by garbage soundbite. |
Re: Overused / irritating words,phrases
When you add "Very" to a sentence, it makes you sound like a spaz.
eg "What the very **** was s/he thinking". |

" rocked " , as in: Jane rocked a slicked back hairstyle , or Jane rocked a floral skirt.

Well stop reading People magazine and Us Weekly! :rolleyes:
I do look at the Daily Fail frequently because as crappy as it is, there are some redeeming qualities. |
