I'm convinced the term "pan-seared" was created so that weight-conscious and health-conscious yuppies could justify eating the stuff without feeling that they've somehow cheated on their diets.I never heard the phrase "pan-seared" until the '90s. We always just said "fried."
In our circle it's been replaced with "Get in line."Do many people still say, "join the club," anymore? I do.
Not sure if this saying has been mentioned before but "for the love of Mike" seemed to have appeared in literally hundreds of old Hollywood films from the 1920's to early 30's then almost completely disappeared. To me it appears used mostly as a substitute for profane expletives that would have been used in real life given the context that it is mostly used.
Strangely, here in the bible belt, people still say this all the time.People don't say "Jesus!" or "Jesus Christ!" to express excitement or disapproval anymore because it's not PC to do so.

I was listening in my office recently to an old baseball broadcast, and the announcer mentioned that the shortstop "pulled a boner." One of the kids who happened to be in the office at the time began laughing uncontrollably for some unaccountable reason.

My last name, which starts with a B and ends with an R and has an O and an N and E (in that order) as well as some other letters in between, was frequently abbreviated to "boner" when I was a kid. So of course I've heard every imaginable variation on a boner theme at least a thousand times. At least.
That’s a bummer !
Old enough to remember when it meant stupid mistake - and I know you can't use it that way anymore. So much of our culture - most sitcoms are just one silly sexual innuendo after another - has become childish humor.
