I've been thinking the same thing, Matt. The only one I can think of that's worse is the old Colts slogan: "Yell, scream, Go Horse." It's so bad that it took me a couple of years to figure out what it even meant, and when I did my only thought was that no one has ever said, or would ever say, that, as in "I yelled so much, I went hoarse."

For that matter, “Sirs” itself is already pretty wonky and archaic in terms of usage. Was there a run of Peanuts comics where Snoopy pushed Peppermint Patty into a cloning machine? Maybe Marcie, in that context, was the last one to use it. My bet: One person LOVED this idea. Somebody who is probably worth 8 to 10 figures.

I bet you're right, Robin. And I bet that person also abbreviates pizza to "'za."

May I also include the jerseys saying “Indy” as misguided? Indiana Pacers - not the Indianapolis Pacers - because no one has ever said they’re from “Indy” and meant the state
