i am gonna patent home decore,
Too late, at least in part. The phrase "shabby chic" -- the home decor term for trying to convince fellow cognoscenti that your rusty, ragged, beat-up, furniture is in fact stylish -- has already been copyrighted, and the owner the copyright actually does start legal actions against entities that use the term without her permission.

Maybe I'll copyright the term "shabby hip" -- referring to the practice of wearing beat-up bluejeans -- and patent the process of rendering un-hip new jeans stylish by wearing holes in them.
