IÔÇÖm sick of people over-using the word ÔÇÿnarrativeÔÇÖ.
If you listen to the media regularly, you may have noticed this has become a clique for the past 6 months or so. I hear it daily. ItÔÇÖs very annoying. Almost in every instance in which it is being used, if they replaced it with the word ÔÇÿstoryÔÇÖ (which is the definition) the sentence would sound stupid and out of context.

I used to watch them years ago, and found them fascinating. Now I just think they are all ridiculous. Wealthy, but still ridiculous. Anyways, I decided a few days ago, to tune in for a laugh, and what do I continually hear?? Yes, "narrative" at least a million times. "like" even more.
