Awful words

[sighyoung]

This is more of a phrase, but I just saw a Yahoo article about the NFL QB injury saying Harbough is "feeling some type of way" about the injury.

It is such a dumb sounding Tik Tok new age bull [expletive] phrase.

That's just terrible writing, or even an expression that was a place holder meant to be revised and later forgotten. I could even imagine a folk expression that was sarcastic or oblique, but would depend entirely on social context and even body language to convey meaning. But I've never heard of one like that, and in print, that's just vague junk.

I’ve got to find some type of way to drop the term “vague junk” into a casual conversation.

Would be a fantastic band name.

I love sandwiches, but the word sandwich sucks. First, obviously, it starts with "sand" which has no business being in a food word. But also I always spell it wrong, because of actual words"which" and "witch," neither of which are the spelling some moron chose for sandwich.

I'll assume you didn't grow up in Sandwich, Illinois?

This is pretty much my understanding of it. I feel like I'd probably understand it in the full context, but hard to say. It's a sarcastic way of minimizing strong feelings, though not sure most readers would know that.
