This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Solutions
Everything is a sodding solution these days.

Case in point: I passed a lorry this morning emblazoned with the phrase "Furniture Solutions".

"Solution", really? If I need to buy a chair I have a furniture problem, do I? And the only thing that can solve it is a "Furniture Solution". AAaaargh fuck off!

If I'm hungry, do I need a "Food Solution"? If I'm tired do I need a "Sleep Solution"??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh and breathe

There are no problems
Only solution opportunities.

Furniture solution...
... dissolve a coffee table in a vat of acid.

I was thinking that.
Furniture solutions in that sense would be quite cool. All you need is a big network of pipes and a bucket. Add some aqueous barium cloride to the furniture solution, and - voila! - a handy nest of coffee tables and a Billy bookcase precipitates out.

About 10 years ago an outdoor shop had a catalogue
that described tents as "Portable light weight shelter solutions"

Had I seen that
I would have been driven mad with rage.

Private Eye
used to run a regular weekly column featuring these.

My favourite is "Transport Solutions" emblazoned on the backs of lorries.

I remember that.
My favourite was "Not just ink: solutions", decoded as "Ink".

The only thing that should be labelled "Solutions"
Is a catalogue containing the descriptions of preparations where one thing is dissolved in another thing.

As for a sleep solution, I find a large quantity of a 30-40% solution of ethanol in flavoured water a good start

Does my head in too
And my job title is "Solutions Architect". I am not an architect (would love to have been, but 7 years study seemed a bit much), nor do I have anything to do with dissolving anything in liquids. Unfortunately it seems to be a fairly common description so most people know what it means. Does anyone have any suggestions for something less wanky sounding?
