Two uses of the word “the” sure to piss people off:

1.
Where: Before “MTV”.
Why: A fast route to cantankerous old-skool street cred!
How: “That little Lavigne hussy was on the MTV again; why, back in my day, a band without a synthesizer wouldn’t even have dared to show up at the recording studio… [adjusts false teeth]”

2.
Where: Before “Central Park”
Why: Piss off New Yorkers and look like a clueless tourist!
How: “I think Earl lost his fanny pack somewhere in the Central Park; we’ll never be able to find other tickets for Phantom!”
