‘Roid rage
One from yesterday’s mail:
Tom:
I loathe the use of the phrase “on steroids” to denote an abundance or excess of something.
Can’t think of a quote at the moment, but you’d know it if you heard it used again and again, as it has been overused during the past two years. Come to to think of it, any use of this detestable idiomatic (and idiotic) expression constitutes an overuse.
