GC1JTRZ Wordbunnies Series #5 - With All Respect Jargon (Unknown Cache) in Ontario, Canada created by prastost & RhiRhi & onamap (P.R.O.)

This cache has been archived.

prastost: Cache location is a terrible magnetic for attracting obscene things because I went by this evening and saw a sock, a hat, a broken umbrella, and also lots of garbage. That is just wrong and not good given that this cache is suppose to be "kid-friendly" ... ok, for safety protocol, this cache is now archived. Another wordbunny has been put to sleep, but now Team Prastost & Co. will focus their energy on new cache puzzles in new locations.

Thanks ~prastost

Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

This is the 5th cache in the wordbunnies series - read below to find out more about wordbunnies and most importantly, the cache puzzle. Cache is a large rectangular container and is full of fun trading items for kids! Please make sure to close lid tightly when replacing.

Congratulations to Lisdowney and Tequila for FTF!

Some geocachers tossed up a great idea when talking around the water cooler - to create an ongoing series of mystery caches to commemorate the start of my geocaching premium membership. I thought, why not … and this is where the wordbunnies series begins.

Lets get everyone up to speed on wordbunnies - a "wordbunny" is a clump of words scattered about the surface of text that do little more than simply hold together as a clump of words. Wordbunnies jump right out of our mouths and into our speech and writing. Often mistaken as verbiage, these cute little wordbunnies don't add anything to the text; unlike dust bunnies, there's nothing technically wrong with them.

This is the 5th cache in the wordbunnies series - a mystery cache series across the GTA aimed to highlight redundancy of phrases or words that have become commonplace.

Like many, I am a victim of wordbunnies: my tireless effort to free myself of wordbunny jargon is an onerous task. But do not fret, I have met the magical ink monkey who professes that he can protect our "word safety".

Sometimes discrete, sometimes obvious, these pesky little creatures have a way of showing up in even the most meticulous text owner's text, and often times right before company.

(Special thanks to The Word Mechanic for enlightening me with a list of wordbunnies that hop right out and slap many with their delicate little furry white paws.)

Wordbunny #5:
"With all due respect" is on the top five Oxford dictionary's irritating phrases list. Commonly overused - that's when you know that no respect due, or not, is about to be seen. Though, technically, "with all due respect" usually predicts an insult and thus serves some purpose. This phrase goes hand in hand with the phrase "with no disrespect" and is being used excessively.
