Cool "kick-ass"

Was it just me or was anyone else getting annoyed with Steve's happy use of "kick-ass" to describe everything.

Its like he found a new word or something. Got on my nerves after the 50th time.

I dunno, but that $129 price-tag for Panther is going to "kick-my-ass"

I feel guilty now. I was watching the keynote while IMing with a friend of mine, and I kept using the phrase "kick ass" when describing all the new stuff. heh.

LOL Exactly what I was thinking. Steve Jobs needs to take speech class or something (or English...).

I agree Dime5150,

I felt the same way... I first noticed it in the G5 video, the last guy that spoke, sorry don't know his name off the top of my head, said "kick-ass". It seemed very contrived. Then I noticed that Steve Jobs was saying quite often.
