Scott Faber, the founder of Ingenio, likes to say that the worst phrase in the English language is "TMI" (Too Much Information).
often someone is telling a story to a group and one of the group members blurts out "TMI" right when the story is getting good. And, of course, the "TMI" stops the story dead in its tracks ... and that is usually the point where everyone is really interested.
The best stories are often ones that are a little over-the-top. So eliminate "TMI" from your vocabulary.
