In the process of reading a new romance novel I came across the words “dawg,” “sista” and “brotha” one too many times. Words I’ll never get enough of are “throbbing”, “heaving” and “member.” 😈

As anyone who reads Ann Rice would tell you, the most annoying and abused word is Preternatural. As anyone who is in daily contact with my grandson would know (or anyone under 15 these days) the words “Gangsta” and “Psych!” and “Babes”. Gettin reeeeal tired of those.

“All that happy-horse-shit” and “How’s it hangin’ ?”
All phrases that some people I work with use often!!! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!! :puke:
“deck” – this is rampant where I work. It’s a synonym for Powerpoint presentation.
“Edgy”. “Box office champion.” Why does a movie’s weekend ticket sales rate as news? They don’t announce the Cereal Box office champion every week. Or the highest grossing toaster in history….
The one that really kills me is, “lead by example”. My boss says it to me all of the time. If that really worked we would not have the same conversation twice a week.
Any scandal that the media tries to paste a “-gate” to. Everytime the media gets horny for a scandal, it’s dipshit-gate fever.
Give 110 percent or 200 percent or 1,000 percent. It’s im-fucking-possible. If you want 110 percent out of me, I’ll give you 30% on Monday and 20% each day for the rest of the week. Add it up and you’ve got your damned 110%.
And worst of all, anything that spews out of Ann Coulter’s mouth.

These celebs drop one for another almost as frequently as hermit crabs change shells, so I don’t even have a prayer of keeping up with the current pairings… Brings back fond memories of Conan O’Brian’s ‘If they Mated’.
As far as educating me on the ins & outs of the matter at hand, I’ve been a bad boy so keep me after school. Maybe special tutoring will help me rise above the rest… :kiss: 😀

Hey is this the webinar about “Gitmo”? If so-“whatever”because back in the day we never used to talk like this-Let’s do lunch….Ahhhhh corny shit
I always get “How are you?” I always respond “I’m how.” Been doing that for years. Percentage of people who notice that my response made no grammatical sense whatsoever: 2%
“I barely know how to turn one on.” – in the context of computers. Computers have been with us for generations now; learn them or suffer. Playing dumb is no longer cute.
“Photoshop!” – barfed forth at every single sighting of every single image. Your vacation photos are Photoshopped. The Mona Lisa is Photoshopped even when you’re standing in front of it. Life is Photoshopped, even when it’s perfectly ordinary.
“user interface” – anything following this phrase is guaranteed to be the most worthless waste of your time you’ve ever experienced. We have a ratio of 99 “information architects” and “zero-gravity thinkers” to “impact the UI experience paradigm” blowing a bunch of hot air around for every 1 person who actually knows how to design something.
“It should take somebody who knows what they’re doing X minutes to do this…” – you hear this constantly from IT clients. They have no clue how you’re going to do the job and are hiring you because you are the expert, but now THEY are giving YOU a time estimate.
“MicroHoo” – and any other blend-word describing a corporate rumor about company X buying company Y. Unless actual money trades hands and contracts signed, a friend-of-a-friend rumor about companies buying each other carries all the substance of Paris Hilton’s latest crisis.
sigh well, back to the trenches…

Ah, “A Christmas Story”.
Having spent about 20 minutes trapped under an actual bus, yes, this one really makes me pop an aneurysm. I totally blocked it out when answering. The day my brother said this to me — about a month ago — I wanted to smack the living shit out of him (too bad for me he’s 6’5″ and 5 states away)

I feel totally violated by this statement, because you KNOW 99.9% of the sheeple using it are Christian and are simply being defiant in the workplace by using a loophole to push their faith on to me! (the loophole of course being that they aren’t technically using GOD in the statement and therefore run less risk of offending non-believing customers. Well I’m offended!!!)
Yeah, I know my annoyance may seem like a bit much but damn… it’s annoying!!! 👿

It looks a lot more normal (?) when you sync it to trhe Village people doing YMCA
‘Back in the day’ – Usually said by kids young enough to NOT have a ‘back in the day’.
‘Misremembered’ – As soon as I heard Roger say that in front of Congress, I knew it’d be used and abused.

It’s not exactly a phrase, but, The ‘Man Bonk’ where you bang your knuckles against another guy’s. Overused.
