Probably tied down with bunting and vigorously thrashed about the groin region with Tesco’s own smoked kippers. Damn bastards with their trite, crass clichés . . .

Oh, I’ve got such eclectic taste . . . .

Hmmm. Is it the sentiment you object to or merely the word? Could I say I have catholic tastes in music? Would it be OK to say, “I just listen to all kinds of shit.”? Or do I have to choose a musical preference and stick to it? And will I be graded down if the musical preference I choose is Country?

You can have whatever taste you like, just don’t , please, call it ‘eclectic’. For at least 20 years everyone in the damn world has used the same pro-forma sentence construction to describe what music they like.

It’s lazy, it’s a tired cliché and it’s not that difficult being a little more creative. IMHO.

I agree so much my teeth hurt, as I grind them at the thought of the idiots I’ve heard using it. It’s a throwaway line used by idiots who think they’re eclectic because they like rock, indie and rap.
