I think overthinking stuff should be banned or maybe "adding too much meaning when it isn't deserved" should be banned also.

ooohh oooh oooh. I got another one.... How about "trigger?" Lets ban that one. I have used it before, but if I have to hear someone say, "I had to pull the trigger on those PRPS impalas, because at that price point of $65 it just had to be done," I am gonna **** myself again. Let me tell you my pants are dirty these days.

No unintended meaning was assumed. Something that was implicit had to be explained to you.

Sure you could just say colour scheme, but it doesn't sound appropriate.

Everybody fuckin knows this. Doesn't stop people from talking about the 'colorway' of a pair of khakis. It's appropriate for sneakers and not much else.

Dude, I understand what 'colorway' is, I just think it's an annoying word and often misused, which is the topic of the thread.

I used to be annoyed by the overuse of "on point," but now that it's not as prevalent I'm returning to my original adoration for it.
