I remain annoyed at the name 'buy back'. Topps can't buy them back, Topps didn't sell them in the first place!! It reminds me of the term 'hot water heater'; hot water doesn't need heating, those things are 'water heaters', not 'hot water heaters'.

I've bid on a few but they seem to go for unwarranted prices.

Haha... along the same lines as "added bonus", "unconfirmed rumor" and "PIN number"...

The one that bothers me is "with au jus" or "served in an au jus sauce". Pardon your French, but this translates into "with with juice".

I once encountered a menu at a small town restaurant, and it listed desserts, including apple pie a la mode, and apple pie a la mode with ice cream.

One of my daughter's favorite retailers is DSW Shoe Warehouse. Care to guess what the initials stand for?
