Athleisure used for humor is funny.
As an actual portmanteau it can fuck off with that.

You people aren't going to like it when you find out what 'fan' is short for.

It's the clunkiest one I've heard in a long time, and "Thanks, ants. Thants." can still make me giggle.

Re: Words I Happen to Dislike
I got invited to a lunch hour at work that includes a "kitchen-table conversation." I am not entirely sure what the phrase even means, but I hate it.

It means "We want you to drop your guard and talk about [topic] without censoring yourself like you were at your kitchen table, while we document the conversation and use it as leverage for as long as we suffer you as an employee".

Cosign.
Talk about kittens.

Start off the meeting with "So just to be clear, is this conversation the 'Ozzie and Harriet' style of 'kitchen table conversation', or is it the sort of conversation that actually happens at our kitchen tables, in which case we're going to need leather bodysuits and a heck of a lot more whipped cream than I currently see in the room?"

Re: Words I Happen to Dislike
I assume kitchen table conversation means one participant is going to make racist comments and repeated endorsements of Trump while everyone else tries to keep quiet and get out as soon as possible.

I've heard of "kitchen cabinets" in politics, dating back as early as Andrew Jackson, and "kitchen sink" movies referring to "gritty dramas" featuring the working classes in Britain after WW II, but "kitchen table conversation" is a new one on me unless it means, you know, where the servants eat in Downton Abbey.

I hate "sex pest" for "rapist or child molester". It's like "neck irritants" meaning "lynch mob".

While I usually appreciate the British's use of understatement, that's just terrible.

Yeah, it sounds more like a disconsolate bird going, "Lemme smash?" than, you know, a sexual predator.

Re: Words I Happen to Dislike
It's starting to grow on me. If it's used to refer to someone doing something merely untoward but not criminal/actionable then it could be useful in restoring meaning to 'rape' and 'harassment'. But definitely not if it's being used for rapist/child molester.
