McLawsuit
You may have heard that McDonald’s is planning on suing Webster’s to make them take “McJob” out of the dictionary. The thing McDonald’s apparently doesn’t realize is that dictionaries don’t make these things up themselves, they just record how people use the language. The fact that “McJob” has entered the dictionary just means it’s in common enough usage that it’s a widely accepted and recognized term. When someone says it, people know they’re talking about a crappy job. Suing Webster’s won’t change that or make it go away.
I just hope this whole deal spawns a new term: McLawsuit, to mean any stupid and misguided trademark lawsuit destined to fail.
