Words you can keep
Home and Garden Television

The TV station that encourages the same conformity, wastefulness, shallow attitudes, irresponsability, mMaterialism, and rootlessness that has been pandemic in the USA for decades. Sister station to TLC and to some extent the Discovery Channel and A&E (it used to be none of these used to suck).

Typified by such awful shows as Designed to Sell, Curb Appeal, House Hunters, and worst of all My Parents House.
All I ever see on that damned HGTV are people sending all the old furnishings/architectural details, and long established plantings to the landfill (but only after destroying them thouroughly).

The people who watch HGTV are mostly a bunch of sheep and probably watch Fox News as well.

HGTV Syndrome

The impetuous urge to renovate, sell, or buy a house to fulfill a burning desire of aquiring a dream home.
*Up next a brand new episode of Property Brothers*
Jen: I love this show! I want to redo the kitchen and bathroom! But then we'd have to do the living room and change the wall paint. Ugh! I just want to redo the whole house.

Adam: You just have HGTV Syndrome...Oh wow I would move for a yard like that.
a superficial, hastily done do-it-yourself job with rather poor results
Susan: Have you put your house on the market yet?
Janet: No. We still need to do an HGTV job on the living room to cover up the cracked drywall. Then we'll unload this old mule.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
