My word for 2026

I’m pissed off, y’all. 😡 For one of my clientfriends.
PISSED OFF. She got SCREWED.
This morning she sent me an email receipt from a SLIMY “marketer” who sold her a product that *sounded* good.
When she got the receipt, she was ready to call the police, the FCC, the CIA—anyone who’d listen.
