I need more of this like I need a whole in the hed

Latest pet peeve: "wholistic."

There are holes, and a thing can be whole or not. Holistic, too, possibly. But there's no such word as "wholistic," and there won't be.

The term "wholistic" is useful because it lets me filter out a lot of New Age bullshit.

Yes, a filter to block anything containing "wholistic" would save us from encountering a lot of crap.
