Here’s the best one I’ve heard yet: “It didn’t get onto my calendar,” in substitute for, “I failed to place it onto my calendar.”
UH, what?
And exactly whose responsibility was it to get it onto your calendar — your calendar’s? UH, no, I think it was yours!!!
This passive voice version of denial just kills me. Excuse me, folks, but YOU are the actor in your life; not your calendar, your toilet (it failed to capture my dump), your washing machine (my soiled clothing failed to reach the washing machine’s door).
In scientific literature, it’s always: The experiment was terminated when etc etc. NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE, ANY MORE, because we have managed to appropriate this weird active form of the passive voice into our affairs. At least you could be honest and say, “it was not done to the calendar,” or “the entry of this event was not done”; that’s genuine passive voice . . . but this active passive crap:” It did not make it onto my calendar.” Horsebleep. Give me a freakin’ break. Take some responsibility for thine own FUCKUPS.
