If you know what the word "paradigm" means, or have heard it over and over in American business, chances are you heard it from that fucker Stephen Covey, author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Hell, he is probably where 99.999% of all the people I know heard that shit ass word.
Has anyone ever read an article interviewing him? I read one in Fortune last year, and I have run across several others. Does that son of a bitch get some kind of damn royalty every time he spews that fucking word? He can't give a 5 minute interview without flinging "paradigm" out every 10 fucking seconds - seriously. I've never seen anyone have so much of a hardon over one word. He's like I am with the word "fuck", except "fuck" isn't weird and no one around me needs a dictionary to figure out what "fuck" means.
I hate that word from his overuse, and I hate him because the guy probably can't fuck his wife without uttering "paradigm" at least 20 times.
Rant over.
