    I’ve heard of perambulate before but not preambulate. Turns out they’re both correct but different…

    When I was a kid, a baby carriage was called a perambulator…. 👴🏻

    You're welcome.

    This once common phrase has been replace in the new lexicon by the offensive and inappropriate phrase "no problem". e.g. ; the cashier bags your groceries, their job, and you politely say "thank you", to which the reply comes "no problem"... at which point I want to ask "No shiit? It's 'no problem' to do your job? As if I'd imposed on you somehow? And you're magnanimously forgiving me for it?"

    Grr, mumble mumble...freakin' little morons...

    Obviously someone disagrees, thank you for so eloquently proving my point.
