(Подозрительно) Почему это именно этих избегать?

[seminarist.livejournal.com]

Мне кажется, эти выражения приносят несчастье. Представьте себе человека, который ежедневно их произносит. Красна ли будет его жизнь?

Хмм... Пожалуй, соглашусь, хотя вот про "papers" и про "riches" - довольно безобидные. А остальных лучше избегать вообще, да.

Особенно если перед этим упомянуть: "А вот этот наш знакомый выпал из воздушного шара недавно".
