Trigger Words For Me

These are trigger words for me.....which you might utter, and I'll stop the conversation and ask stupid questions:

Free, nothing is really free....so I'll regard your talk as BS.

Now, NOW is really now, but if I question you and it was not NOW....then I'll correct.

Exclusive, typically I hear it  at a store, and immediately regard it as BS.

Limited, sales guy chatter....usually BS.

Urgent, usually uttered by Air Force officers....meaning something that the commander said, but most of the time....BS.

New, if this is in a box....OK. But if it's in the open....I don't regard it as new.

Guaranteed, not always positive.

Proven, over-used, and usually uttered by doctors/nurses a lot.

Secret, having work in intelligence for 20 years....simply over-rated.

Instant, some folks utter this....even if it takes 10 minutes to accomplish 'instant'.

Save, 50-percent of the time.....it's truthful.....50-percent of the time, it'sfake  savings.

Discover, it usually means you did something stupid, and just accidentally found something.

Easy,  uttered on Christmas morning usually....meaning a simple-put-together item...requires four hours.

Amazing, usually uttered by a sales guy....at least six times in 10 minutes.....mostly over-used.

Breakthrough, usually meaning 12-year old kid got smart  and did something.

Risk-Free, I usually question how risk free.

Special, there are probably 300 levels of special, and half of them....aren't that special.

Unique, usually never that unique.

Hurry, another term uttered by Air Force officers....meaning you need  to drop urgent work, to do BS stuff.

Only, I usually regard it as a catch-phrase....meaning 'except'.

Bonus, refer to the fine-print....maybe it is a bonus....maybe not.

Essential, after a while....you realize 14,000 things in life are essential...so it's not that big of a deal.

Powerful, there are probably 300 levels of powerful, and it might not mean much.

Safe, used a great deal by Air Force officers....meaning safe enough that even a 7-year-old kid can't be wounded. 

Results, with a results-index....you can might be mildly excited by what people call results.
