The late stand-up comedian/writer George Carlin used to poke fun of many linguistic conventions. In his 2004 book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, he discussed some of the absurdities of the lingo involved with food advertisements. A piece of that work is posted on the forum of this website, with many other people contributing some of their own thoughts on the "most overused dining and food-related terms." Scroll down the page until you see red font to find Carlin's remarks.
