Pablum

Pablum

Pablum [noun] - Trite, naive, simplistic ideas or writing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need more words expressing how much something sucks. I feel like so many things suck that the phrase has been diluted. Getting a speeding ticket doesn't suck in the same way as getting a DUI, and the cast of Jersey Shore doesn't suck as much as the 1.4 million people who watch the show. They get paid for being dumb. I'm dumb for free every day. Who's the sucker here?

Common Usage:

Girl: How did your date with that guy go?
Date Girl: OMMGGG. So. freaking. pablum. All he did was talk about politics and books and his boring job and his stupid blog. He doesn't even own a tv! How can he watch Jersey Shore without a tv!?
Girl: Ew! We should start a charity for like, poor people who, like, don't own tv's. So they can watch Jersey Shore.

Friend: Dude, how did that date with that chick go?
Me: Sucked.
Friend: That sucks.
Me: Word
