I've seen it 3 or 4 times lately. (Can't remember where or I'd link)

What can we do about it? Hmm

Give me an example! Don't think I've seen it.

What kind of bias do you mean? I sew. Bias binding has been around for a long time.

It happens on here all the time.

I know I'm bias but it's really annoying.

Oh, like that! I was thinking 'a bias judge'

Horrible.

It's everywhere.

I feel the same about 'cliche' as an adjective , which is also spreading like wildfire (sorry can't do accents on this gadget) but people seem more inclined to mount a defence of that one.
