However, when doing some web searches to find the origin of this term for de-cluttering (which I think is a great thing, one of the best things about my recent move was getting rid of more than half of my accumulated "stuff"), I encountered a phrase that is just absolutely rubbing me the wrong way.
It's a day to, among other things, "abdicate obligations".
I can't even begin to start enumerating all the ways that bugs me. Maybe some people have a different definition of "abdicate" and of "obligation" than I do...
