Useless words

Posted by brian on May 28, 2000, at 14:29:34

Depression: Wimpy, misleading word. It gives the impression that someone with depression simply has the blues. What did Styron in "Darkness Visible" suggest instead? Was it "Mental Storm?"

Anxiety: Same thing. Too tied up in everyday language.

Crazy: Ridiculous word, used as frequently, randomly and unhealthily as table salt.

Any others floating out there?
