Most-overused, annoying words (Edit: or phrases)

[OutHouse]

when i was in the military the one word that would make my blood boil was

Utilize :|

I cant tell you how many times i heard some crusty old senior NCO who was dumber than a sack of bricks use that word in every fricken sentence. I was beginning to think they had to take a oath at the Senior NCO academy to use that word as much as humanly possible.

 

[cdan]

Dude you're gettin' a Dell!

 

[element2k5]

i think the most annoying word would have to be either wasssaaaaaap, or pimpin'

 

[docmanhattan]

"churchie" for someone who is religious, as seen in this thread.

more irritating than over-used because it only comes up when someone wants to slam religion.

 

[deftron]

<< Corporate buzzwordism:

Mission Statement
action-plan
action-items
paradigm
ROI
best-of-breed
system (there's a company here in San Jose that busses people around called "Destination Systems") >>



You forgot TPS Reports


j/k

Mission Statement is a BIG one!

Some other more specific terms I hated
when I worked in a retail store:

re-shop ... (putting stuff back on the shelf that people decided not to get... if they never bought it, was it shopped in the first place?)
facing ... (bringing items to the edges of the shelves)

 

[deftron]

Oh yeah...

and


AS SEEN ON TV

usually printed on some cheap wacky thing you see in a store


Like that gives any credibility to the product

 

[Juniper]

LOL... this is a funny thread!

I can't think of any annoying words now though.

"Let's just be friends"

"You're sweet." <-------- I go that so much in highschool. aarrgghhh.

"We have to talk." :Q

 

[kerpaul]

WHEN PEOPLE SAY ?I JUST DID THAT RIGHT NOW?:frown:

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

GREAT.

As in: If you can... that would be GREAT.

Or for variety: If you can... that would be GOOD.

HECKA (a word dumber than HELLA)

REPRESENT NO DOUBT

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

all those crap statements that those stupid psychologists always like to bounce around...

"how does that make you feel?"

"and you are having feelings of remorse?"

"Do you ever feel the need to lash out?"

AAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!:frown:

I swear psychologists are the friggin chiropractors of the brain. QUACKS!

My step-mom was one... I grew up with the crap.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

I find the term "Loser" to be annoyingly overused :disgust: There are a great many things people might say in it's place, had they some shade of wit or letters with which to color their discourse

 

[incallisto]

The following are highly overused:

like, totally, absolutely, diva, goddess, whatever, you know, and know what I'm saying.

 

[ObiDon]

<< Diva (who the hell started this, anyway?) >>


Yeah, I REALLY hate that one. At least it seems to be going away now. I think En Vogue may be to blame for this one.


<< Bonus. >>


LOL, I haven't heard that one in a while. I might have to bring that one back! That reminds me... "LOL" bugs me, too. Especially used in every sentence



<< Thank god valley girl talk is dead.
"Like barf me out totally and gag me with a spoon"
>>


Did you catch Futurama? "That Guy" said "Gnarly! Gnarly to the max!"

Obvious grammatical errors. i.e. "Dude, your getting a Dell." or "Their going to the store."

"You're such a nice guy!"

I'm really surprised nobody mentioned "[random item] is/was da Bomb!"

I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the word "epic" in the description of EVERY new video game :|

Jfrag, you sound like you have a lot of pent up rage...would you like to talk about it?

These venting threads are cool!

 

[pyonir]

[Dragnov]

[pyonir]

<------ left eye is beginning to twitch.

 

[ProviaFan]

<< I hate it when people use the word "like" after every other word. Also, how girls say everything is "cute".

Bleh! >>


Yea, dude, that's like...uh...like, so, like, annoying.

Oh yeah, "type" anything :|

 

[sheselectric]

"you know?" or "you know what i'm saying?" it just screams a need for constant validation....
