People who can’t stop beating a dead horse. I know I’m guilty of it at times too, but sheesh, enough is enough already! While I’m on the subject of pet peeves, did you know that the term originated from the word “peeve”, which means something irritating or annoying. The word peeve came from the term “peevish”, meaning ornery, or yes, even ill-tempered. The phrase “pet peeve” first appeared in print in 1919. It’s amazing what you can learn on Wikipedia!

    Are you getting mostly crappy PPP posting opps these days, or have I just been blacklisted because nobody actually looks at my blog?
