In no particular order...

"If done properly, it can work" (no shit, thanks for that Captain Obvious)
"Polished"
"Iterative"
"LAWLZ"

"Going forward".

Anything from Portal.  So frakin' overused.

Hella -- Well, not really hate. I just don't understand what it's supposed to be a contraction of.

i.e. "That's hella cool, man" Hell of cool? Huh?

"Let me axe you something."
"Irregardless"
"Go Pats"
"Go Yankees"
"Go Sox"
"Taking it to the hole"
"Word"
"Killer App"
"They came here to play"
"Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"

Anything that is a substitution of a full word with a few exceptions: brb, afaik, ymmv, etc.

I refuse to take anyone seriously who types u instead of you.  :uhrr:

"it is what it is"
any form of "console lol". Get a new rallying cry you bitter babies.
"grillz"
Just about any Ace Ventura (hell, anything Jim Carey has ever said) or Swingers quote delivered very poorly.  Which is just about always.
"family values"

See, I've got a buddy who's so freakin' shitty to himself, that I can't help but tell him that he's "Money" all the time. You'll have to excuse me.

I'm not a big fan of "self-empowerment."

Your new avatar is hella cool.

I have one I use all the time that I just hate, but can't seem to completely banish from my vocabulary: Starting sentances with "It's like,"

My manager also bugs me about using phrases such as "Honestly," or "To be honest,"

I am however proud of the fact that I help to keep the expression "hey dude" alive.

Oh, I've got the "It's like", "I'm like" thing going on too. I'm a male bow head.

Just used it actually! "I'm like, Courtney, wtf are you sending me pics of chicks' asses at 3:00 AM for?"

Instead of "honestly", it's always "seriously.." for me.

Damn, I hate that one. Especially on Church billboards. "Generation X Youth Service Thurs 8:00 PM!"

Leverage, used as a verb in business speak, "to leverage", as in "we will leverage our existing investment to ramp up production".

There is no such verb. The verb is "to lever". Leverage is a noun, meaning the effect you get from using a lever. When you are using a lever, you are levering, not "leveraging".

Matter of fact, whenever I hear a phrase like "we will leverage our existing investment to ramp up production" (typically with liberal use of "going forward"), I know I'm listening to someone out of their depth.

Signe: once, when I was managing the docks at walmart, I made a badge for one of my guys. I cut up the words from other badges and made him the "Lubed Meat Receiver". And made him wear it until I got in trouble. I used to get in a lot of trouble there.

Tale: Bzzt. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/leverage)

What about "Word out" and "Peace up."

I'm a big fan of fucking up colloquialisms.

Also, I hate the word buzzword.

Added to the dictionary because of widespread erroneous use. I have lost the battle. Older dictionaries will not have it.

"People are broken."

"Risk vs. Reward"

Two horribly over-used phrases from amateur mmog developers everywhere.

What up is a favorite. Speaking of which..

"Fave"...

That shit is gayer than Wham!. Speaking of which too..

I really hate using "gay", but somehow, it's appropriate in "fave's" case.

Guy who sits behind me at work speaks German as his first language, but you normally would never notice, his English is that well spoken. Except for certain expressions. My favorite is "I rest assure you". I don't have the heart to correct him.

I believe Germans, out of any foreigners, pick up English better than anyone. Some even have what could almost be a middle American surburban accent. Not sure why that is though.

Outcomes.

The conversations you have where these phrases occur often enough to bother you?  I can only imagine them in my deepest, darkest most twisted recesses of my brain.


I'll agree with the "Honesty..." and "To be honest..." and raise everyone a "You know?" and "Tail wagging the dog."

If magic were real, I would create the following spell:

Title: "No Monty Python - Holy Grail Quotes (aura)"
Description:  All those within the aura will emit nothing but silence when attempting to utter a Holy Grail reference.
Level:  5
Type:  Buff
Range: 20'
Casting time:  Instant
Duration: 30 minutes
Recast Time - 30 sec.
Mana Cost:  10

Now, of course, this was my original plan.  My friend Ty, however came up with a better idea.  Instead of silencing all Holy Grail quotes within 20', it would change the quote to a 'Life of Brian' one.

Observe:

****

Traffic Cop: "License and registration, please, sir."

Monty Python Fan: (to himself) I know! This would be the perfect time for me to use "Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

Monty Python Fan: (clears throat as he hands over his license) "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

Traffic Cop: "Sir?"

Monty Python Fan: (stunned) "I...I don't know..."

Because the languages are the most closely related? 'Mine name ist Lamaros.' Not much translation required there...

And some context for my earlier contribution:

Kevin Rudd described his election victory as their "desired election outcome". No fucking shit. Redundant stupid fucking language.

NUK-U-LAR

I understand why they can pick up the language itself, but the accent is another thing. Many German people I know (as well those observed on TV) almost sound American. Not British, but American. So I'm wondering why that is.

Social Networking

With. People who truncate the sentence that is -- as in "Are you going with?" instead of "Are you going with me?"…

"Been there. Done that."

I say "honest" so that people know the difference from when I'm lying.  How can people not like the word "honest"?  I also am not crazy about the word "buzzword" and almost included it but thought people would think I was just being silly.  I think I don't like buzzwords in general, especially the ones that have to do with self-help.  Especially Oprah words.  Self-esteem, therapeutic, enabler, etc.  They make whatever point you're trying to make sound insincere.

Whatshisnuts -- I don't really care to identify guys by their testicles

Meatspace -- Just off yourself already, Johnny Mnemonic

Sellout -- especially when it comes to people who lash out against bands they used to like, and want them to keep making the same albums over and over again. Fucking nazi's.

...

I'm the only person I know who still calls certain people "Squares".

Startled to see it on the Buzzword Bingo Pic, but my personal hate at the moment is 'Quick Win'.

Fuck Right Off.

This one is usually said by people who simply refuse to comprehend how much work is involved in something that they can't understand and therefore think is 'easy'.

Pricks.

I hate "resume speak". You know, shit like "self starter", "has an eye for detail", "extremely adept".... What a waste of time. I just want to list my experience, and say "Look motherfuckers! Do not hire Bob's buddy from Wisconsin. He doesn't know shit. I do. And I buy everyone candy."

Self-appraisal (I know what I think. What do YOU think)
Yes, and (no, it's yes but because the idea was that bad)
Brainstorm (they never are, right next to "open and honest" and "frank")
Take this offline (no, make the effing decision now you avoider)
Avoider (is that even a real word?)
Dodged a bullet (only because nobody does proper post-mortems)
Impossible (go get an easy job you wank)
Challenging (what the hell do you think they pay us for, wank)
Easy (because you don't know shit... wank)

And anyone who tries to do everything themselves because they think that's the only way to get ahead. Just gotta recognize when that's the case versus when someone truly does need to do everything themself.

Fuck a Reason for the Season. WE'RE NOT ALL CHRISTIANS, AND CHRIST WASN'T EVEN BORN IN DECEMBER.

Anything related with God affecting or influencing my life kinda makes me annoyed.

Blog (and all associated forms)

That's one of the ones I hate though fortunately it seems to be going out of style (more a 20th century thing).

I got a frown on me at work for alerting HR in our corporate office that some people in our branch were soliciting us to make donations to the Salvation Army. I'm a little more bitter this year than usual (but there will be no more "adopt a family" bullshit, so I win).

Ooo... that's avatar material.  We should have a picture thread where we can express our true feelings about the festive holiday season!  Someone (NOT ME!) do that, pretty please.  (http://forums.fitnessreference.com/images/smilies/santa2.gif)

PS  paradigm shift

Well I have no beef with charity drives, but shoving beliefs in 'Superman' in a literal sense that he possess the power of universe creation and purging of sins while remaining completely invisible down into my throat is a bit too much to take.

Please to be saving holiday bellyaching for the Festivus thread.

We thankfully purged god out of Christmas a long time ago.  Christmas in America is a totally secular fun holiday with its own traditions and beliefs that have nothing to do with the Bible, for the majority of Americans.  So I have no problem with it, or see why others get bent out of shape over it.  :-)
I think this is a valid saying.  Its the middle ground between "Thats an excellent plan, do it." and "Theres no fucking way that will ever work even if excuted to perfection."  It might work, but its going to be tricky and take more effort.

I want to believe "Web 2.0" signifies something. So far, it hasn't.

O, I loathe that word, and it has come up twice recently with family / friends work campaign title… …so it's not been buried yet…

Not a phrase, but that Gates-awful annoying cell phone commercial with the rap kid blasting his phone in my TV screen…

Hate to derail but...

IM'ing, RSS, Conferencing, Community Portals, and Email? That doesn't really sound like "Web 2.0" to me. That shit is ghetto. I thought Web 2.0 had to do with more accessibility for users to create and customize content. Socializing is the reason the net exists in the first place. And RSS is just another extension of information gathering/research -- "Web 1.0".

Wiki's are Web 2.0 however -- and it's not really all that exciting. Not enough to create a buzzword for at least.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Godwin's Law

Hardcore/Core Gamer

describing anything other than a virgin orifice as "tight"

calling somebody "dawg"

"mature gameplay"

Yea, that matrix is shitty.


The world's largest encyclopedia and it's added to enough each day that nothing will ever catch up? I'd say it's enough for Wikipedia to be a buzzword, and by proxy, wiki.


I think I'm allowed to describe gaming controls as tight or loose. It's a better descriptor than 90% of the other words people use.

OH, YOU MEAN, SUP DAWG DATZ TIGHT.

Yeah, that second part.

Welcome to the English language. It's the borg of languages.

The people dissing Web 2.0....you are lucky. I put "2.0" for a reason. I have to put up with shit like Library 2.0. Thus my fuzzword is ShutTheFuckUp 1.9. I just made up fuzzword, it's an anti-buzzword.
Hey, that's part of Library 2.0!  :uhrr: Library myspace pages!  :ye_gods:

You are right.  Any chart that puts email into Web 2.0, or even Web 1.0 for that matter, was made by a moron.  If something existed before The Web, which isn't even a real thing, then it does not belong on that chart.

A previous post reminded me that I hate the word "buff".


I laughed such that it hurt me.

The rest of Tairnyn's list was also good.  I think those words just pass through me like farts through silk these days.

I always thought synergy was ridiculous because it was the name of the master computer in that cartoon about the rock star girl who fought crime back in the eighties.  I cannot, thankfully, remember the name of the show.

When someone starts a post 'I stopped reading when the OP said X' I want to hit them in the face.

Pretty much all the headlines on Reddit or Digg that start Most Amazing THING EVAR OMGLOL. 

Otherwise, as an ESL teacher I've become fairly numb to people butchering the language.  :hello_kitty:

The phrase, "I could care less" in any situation other than one in which you in fact care about said issue but could imagine yourself possessing a lower level of caring. In other words when you don't mean, "I couldn't care less."

Nuanced.
Neo- anyone's name as an adjective (I've been reading too many crappy journal articles that overuse this. Mostly social scientists.)
pointlessly shortened words e.g. fac instead of faculty. You just saved yourself two syllables there and butchered a perfectly good word in the process.

I hate when people say something is "pure love" or "it's sex" to say something is good.
Consolization
Running up the score

For reals.
People who write an entire post in lower case including the personal pronoun.
People who end each sentence with 'lol' - Why are you cackling like a moron at your own 'wit'?

*Made up acronyms.

I aspire to be a person who writes in lowercase all the time.

I tried the no punctuation and all lower case thing.  It took me longer to type that way, though, because I had to constantly go back and fix the stuff I typed properly. 

Sort of tangential to the topic…

Bloggers Aren't For Reals Journalists (http://www.uncov.com/2007/11/27/bloggers-aren-t-for-reals-journalists)

Haha.

"Please to be" in more than one post by the same person in one thread.

The phrase Web 2.0 needs to be faceraped, along with anyone that uses it in serious fashion.

I'd reserve more hate for "digirati" myself. Then again, they might be the ones who came up with "Web 2.0" in the first place.

Also can't stand stuff like Weaboo, and other catchphrases/memes people try to import here.  We've got enough of our own sayings here without borrowing them from places like 4chan.

I hate when people use the word "literally" when they don't mean literally.

Unfortunately the word is now so misused that:

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/literally

Literally has come to mean virtually which literally is not what it means....

Fuck I just confused myself and that is why I hate people. No, not just the people who use the word "literally", I fucking just hate everyone.

I haven't even heard half these buzzwords.  I'm very out of touch, I think.  It comes from not being arsed to get a job the past decade or so.

You could hold your own meetings, if you like.  Perhaps chair a committee on finding new avatars.

I second "low hanging fruit".  Everytime I hear that I want to unleash a face-hugger alien.  That shit needs to stop.

Oh, and on topic

- fucked-up possessive apostrophes
- typos in published materials - spellchecker yo, DKP 50 minus!
- using the company name a bazillion times in sales pitches and proposals.  We're interested in your business but we're going to talk about us instead.  Oh and we're going to say our company name every chance we get just in case you forget.
- and just browsing the office intranet, the following - "above the radar", "in terms of", "credentialing" (the fuck, not everything is a verb), "by the numbers"

'No doubt about it' 

(sometimes 'No question...')


(Constantly being spouted by the pundits on ESPN-type shows in reaction to another's remarks or opinons.  Really starting to annoy the motherfucking out of me and I have no good idea why.)

So, like... I'm totally like sick of people like overusing the word "like". 

This is one I'm trying to break my daughter of.  It gives me Moon Unit flashbacks.

Verbal tics could be a whole 'nother thread. My supervisor is a pretty bad public speaker, long winded and filled with verbal tics from uh to you know. I just make funny growling noises and paw at the air. Speaking of MU Zappa, when did all teen and twenties girls start talking like valley girls and ending all sentences in a question? FFS.

From the chart, semantic seems to be TNBBW (the next big buzzword).

Yeah, I agree.  As I've got older I've started noticing more and more verbals tics and they piss me off.  One of the other Directors here says 'you know' almost every second word when he's speaking to a group.  It's the most annoying thing...

Personal pet peeves, due to my job:

"Extreme"
"Jack Bauer in space"

Ok, fine, I admit it. I've refered to my "renegade oriented" character as being Jack Bauer like in describing the game to a couple different people.

"semantic" is so 20th century.

The upgraded term is the "global graph"…

No hate here.

I just really like trying to work the word 'moist' into normal conversation.  People have really weird reactions to that word.

Which directly contradicts the phrase I hate:

"Happy Holidays" instead of "Happy Hanukkah".

I hate the word "benign".

No matter how many times I hear it, I immediately think something's gone horribly wrong for a second... No matter how well I know the correct definition. It just has a bad sound to it.

I hate them both equally.  I also hate "Happy Holidays" instead of "Crotchety Festivus" or whatever you're supposed to wish people.  Also Agnostica, Kwanzaa, and Ramadan.  WISH ME A HAPPY WHATEVER YOU WANT, FUCKERS.  I CAN TAKE IT.

If Merry Christmas was good enough for Frank Cross, then it's good enough for me.

War on drugs/terrorism/poverty.

Publish as a noun. Its a publication, not 'a publish' you fucking cretins. Any similar inappropriately implied gerund designed to be cute or clever when it is patently neither.

I've never seen anyone use 'publish' as a noun.

Liar. When I fist met you in 'cyberspace' (there's another one) Bowman was using it all the time in the chat room - "we'll have dragons in the next publish". I'm not surprised that you excised it from memory. NCsoft used to use it all the time in Lineage too, but since 90% of them were grubby foreigners, it was marginally more excusable.

This falls into the 'tight' vs. 'tight' category.

I can see how it would annoy you in most cases, but in the case of a large rollout in an MMOG, it seems perfectly acceptable to me. Though, I don't know why people use 'publish' instead of 'patch.'

Cretins. That's why.

Maybe they were trying to convey "issue"?

Just throwing that out there...

I'd wish you a happy Hanukkah if I knew you were a Jew. The only question is whether or not you tack a C on the front of it.

No 'c.' That's amateur hour.

I think it was one of those conspiracies to make it look more like Christmas.

I hate the word blog and I loathe reporters that refer to the blogosphere. 

The i* naming scheme bugs me quite a bit too.

I hear Apple will be coming out with the new iBlog soon.  :uhrr:

I wish apple would iFuckThemselves.

They don't have one bad product.

Only if you don't take price into account. Otherwise, all of their computers are pretty bad. The Mac Pro quad core starts at $2499 and has shit for graphics in the box. You can buy stuff off the shelf for $1200 and build a BEAST of a machine that outperforms it in every way.

I'm not saying their products are bad in a vacuum. I'm just saying that Apple still hasn't shed that "for artsy jerks" look it's had for years.

The irony is awesome. For really, realz.  :awesome_for_real:

I agree on the default graphics card (NVIDIA 7300) but otherwise you are comparing apples and oranges. The lowest-end CPUs in the Mac Pro cost $750 *each* on Newegg because they are Xeon server CPUs, and there's a pair of them so already you are over $1200.

And you're also approaching it from a gamer/webby aspect, not from a desktop publisher/video editor/music studio standpoint. Also, the xserve is a really nice server and you can get cheap OS upgrades for years (one price, years of upgrades for 'free'...but I think we just ran out :( ). We upgraded to an xserve because it was only a couple hundred bucks more than buying a new machine and the OS.

Anyway. Not the thread for this. Mac bashing, or really bashing any tech that works well is fucking moronic. Had a long meeting with mac haters who love linux. Whatever.

Mac Pro is due for an upgrade, it's long in the tooth now… …but generally speaking, Mac on par with Win machines (not build it yourself of course, but that there still doesn't factor in "time and inclination" factor, along with other incompatibilities that surface in such endeavors)… …and core Mac audience is no longer limited to "for artsy jerks" — any developer conference I attend is Mac dominant, and most of the Windows laptops are running Ubuntu… …also, hang out in an Apple Store, and the fully staffed outlet can barely keep stride with all the MacBooks and MacBookPros being purchased…

In my humble opinion.

Sweeping statements.

Pull my finger.

Go on.  Pull it.

Forgot one:

Any MMO name where the abbreviation is spoken. Had a bunch of co-workers cracking up the other day when I leaned into one guy who said "Day-ock". I'm all like, what the hell's a Day-ock?! "DAoC". Say Camelot, particularly since you know we all know what you're talking about.

Add to that anyone who uses "ell o ell" in conversation. And "double u tee eff".

Speaking in SMS is like some special level of dumb.

There was a Californication episode where Hank dumped a chick for saying LOL. Well, he bitched at her at first. Then she gave him a blowjob... But she called it a BJ. So he dumped her for that.

I hate those goddamn mac commercials.  You don't want people who bathe to own macs, we fucking get it.

I want windows to launch their own anti-mac commercial, and on fucking superbowl sunday.  Somthing along the lines of "Hi, I'm a Mac, and even though I only make up around 4% of all computers owned, I'm culturally relevant goddamnit! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!  LOOK, LOOK, I CAME OUT WITH AN ISOMETHING, WE HAVE FANCY FUCKING COMMERCIALS WITH HIP PEOPLE DANCING IN SILHOETTE! WE ARE RELEVANT GOD DAMNIT!"

Also, ebonics.  Speak english goddamnit, if you say that you want to "axe me a question" one more time, I'm going to take it as an immenent threat and make you about 300 grains heavier.

It's closer to about 8% actually.

If you're talking about hip people dancing though, that product has about 90%. It is pretty relevant, in fact.

He's talking specifically about the computers. Not the iPod.

Hot Mess. Has anyone else actually heard of this one? A chick I work with uses it. Far. Too. Often.

It makes me want to stab her.

No, not in the face, and no, not with a rigid cock. ok, maybe just a little bit

It's really annoying.

Also, the word street, as in, "That's so street, dude." Fuck, I hate ricers.

It's probably already been mentioned, but irregardless, when they mean that one thing is not relevant or effected by another...FFS, we already have a word for that, and it's called regardless.

If something is regardless, it is not regarding something....but if it's irregardless, then it's actually regarding? God, die in a double-negative fire. :mob:

Street?

No. That would drive me batty though. Now go fix your top 20. Oh, you did, almost good enough.

I don't think any jury would convict you for Ricer Genocide.

I would.  I like ricers.  I think they're cute.  They are like rabid fanbois with wheels.

FIFY  :awesome_for_real:

OK, what does "ricer" mean? The only time I've heard that term used was as a disparaging name for asians.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricer

This is humorous and slightly serious. Enjoy.  :grin:


Edit: Check out Ricersaurus Rex. Lulz :D

Ah I see. 'Ricer' is your word for wanker.

That's interesting. It looks like it evolved from the original ethnic slur becoming much less offensive along the way. Cool. :)

WTF does that mean? I sounds like something a porn director would say:

"Would someone clean the hot mess off this chick so we can do another take?"

What the hell context does she use it in?
