\"For the lack of a better word...\"
people who say this should just say "i find myself embarrassed that i don't have a big vocabulary."
example "this game is, for the lack of a better word, not fun." the way i say it: "this game is fcuking lame." thoughts?

People who say this also say "to make a long story short" and then proceed to tell a long story.
