George Carlin: People add words when they want things to sound more important than they really are. "Boarding process." Sounds important; it isn't. It's just a bunch of people getting on an airplane! People like to sound important. Weathermen on television talk about "shower activity". Sounds more important than "showers." I even heard one guy on CNN talk about a "rain event".
[laughter]
George Carlin: I swear to God, he said, "Louisiana is expecting a rain event." And I thought, "Holy , I hope I can get tickets to that!"
