Astronomer Seth Shostak declared, "Jupiter is so warm that it currently radiates more internal heat than it receives from the sun." I am tired of the word "currently."

I say one that probably annoys people. You all know this right?
I assume you nerds know (like me) that is a pic of Elvis' plane. It meant "Taking Care of Business in a Flash".
I use that phrase all the time but I just say the letters "TCB" and instead of "In a Flash" the phrase I use is:
"TCB Lightning Bolt".
