1995 Pontiac Trans Am - The Specialest Specialist Special

Abe Finkel claims 10-second timeslips in his daily-driven 1995 Pontiac Trans Am Comp T/ASpecial is one of those words so badly abused by overuse that its meaning has been drowned, anchored next to other nonwords like "nice." Particular, peculiar, exceptional-all mean the same thing. Special has devolved to the point of euphemism-one of those words to use when you can't think of anything else nice to say, like describing an unpleasant new food you've tried as "different" or some incoherent, drooling Neanderthal you've just met as "interesting." I keep picturing Dana Carvey as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live, mouth drawn, eyebrow cocked, saying the word in question. I'm not laughing.
