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?

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

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.

used to run a regular weekly column featuring these.
My favourite is "Transport Solutions" emblazoned on the backs of lorries.

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

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

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?
