A friend recently mentioned that something was a “game changer,’’ which, because I have an aversion to buzzwords, immediately activated my gag reflex. I can’t even remember what the supposedly pivotal item was. A new brand of paper towels? Unless they can wipe up a spill themselves, I can’t picture them enhancing my life.
Experience tells me that whatever people are describing as a game changer almost certainly isn’t as big or revolutionary or earth-shaking as they think it is.
