This is not as bad as it sometimes seems. When people drop into this
kind of pop-talk, they make themselves ready targets for the lampoon.
"Be nice," he said, "she has issues."
"Issues my ass," I replied. "The woman is crazy as a freaking loon!"
Also, when such terms are used with the appropriate smirk, new and
interesting shades of meaning are implied.
"You might say that my father and I had issues," I said.
"Oh dear. Did you ever resolve them?"
"Yes, I shot the bastard in the head and framed my mother. Issues
resolved."
And so it goes.
