We found these quotes here

The "Constant Awareness of Language" Project

You are invited to join us in making a list of phrases that are unclear or that have lost meaning.

"I love you, brother."   Do real men speak like that?

"What's up?"  Answer:  The sky.  Clouds.  Birds.  What else do you want to know?

"That's gnarly."  Oh?  What does that mean?

This campaign has four procedures
a) recommend articles that deserve more attention
b) post links 
c) compile these observations into books so that students can see the collection of suggestions
d) encourage each other to read books that focus our minds on new ways of looking at the world and ideas that challenge us.   See also "Constant Awareness" and "Conquer Ignorance" campaign.

Here are some items that appeared in an article in Forbes.
