On Wheel of Fortune (shut up. You probably eat mayonnaise right from the jar, and furthermore, pronounce it 'MAN-naise'), it really irritates me how, when they are announcing the contestants, EVERY PERSON who's married calls their spouse wonderful. Always the same word. "I'm Myrtle, and I'm here with my wonderful husband Todd", "I'm Kelly, I'm a schoolteacher, and I'm married to a wonderful man named Alec", "My name's Dennis, and I've been married for thirty-two years to a wonderful woman named Agnes". Never great, never funny or sweet or smart or incredible....ALWAYS wonderful.
Personally, if I ever get on there, I plan to say "hello, my name's ElizaGirl. I work in tech support, enjoy creative writing, cooking and gardening, and am married to an uninteresting, obnoxious and verbally abusive man named __________." Someone's got to keep Pat Sajak on his toes.....these days, that guy's just coasting.

Come on, you can't expect them to come up with new adjectives every time. It's not like they're on a game show about words or anything.
That outta cover 'obnoxious' and 'verbally abusive.' Now I just have to find a way to be uninteresting.
