Weathermen calling the weather "soupy" is genuinely repulsive.

I have to say that "soupy" and "wintry mix" are some of the more descriptive cliches in the weatherperson's limited arsenal.
I'm in my late 50's.

When I lived in Louisiana during the hurricanes we would play drinking games for when weatherperson's would say 'hunker down.'

I definitely prefer "close" to "soupy" when describing hot, humid weather.

We have different drinking games for different weathermen and seasons. This is the most popular one- Gary England during tornado season
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

That "Get Inside My Sleeping Bag" song by ZZ Top. Is there a woman alive who would be receptive to crawling inside a canvas bag with a drunk Billy Gibbons? That song sounds like a sex crime set to music.

Nick Gregory on Fox 5 kept referring to today's heat wave conditions as "sultry".

I hate comments on news sites, but I read them nevertheless.

This has opened up a new hatred of Tea Party(?) extremists saying "wake up sheeple!" which I think is kind of a trend.

'Soupy' and 'Wintry Mix' sound delicious.

The overuse of the word "ass". From "stupid ass idiot" to "grown ass man". But the coup de grace was hearing a coworker say "90 year old ass man". That just doesn't make sense.
