Have you noticed that "to coin a phrase" now means "pardon me, I am about to use a cliché". People started doing it with a sense of irony, but I swear today 90% of the people who use it don't know what it means.

"This puppy" and "that puppy" and "those puppies" are slang used almost exclusively by skinny smiling "hip" Baptist types with too many teeth, e.g., it's actually too obscene for Mr. Rogers but his evil twin might use it.

Especially when talking about cleavage.
