Will Somebody Please Kill the “Fungus Amongus?”

You would think that journalists and writers in general would want to avoid trite, worn out, overused phrases and cliches in their work. Apparently the sing-song phrase “fungus amongus” is just too hard to resist.

A Google search on the phrase “fungus amongus” returns around 50,000 hits. I thought it would be a lot more but that is still about 49,999 too many! Do’h, I just entered a “fungus amongus” tag for this post!

Look, look! See what I mean?
