Stupid euphemisms (e.g. "gravitationally challenged" = fat), which do you hate most?

[glenn1]

Good grief, some of the euphemisms i hear make me just wince. I had a new one dropped on me today... don't say handicapped or special needs persons, say "differently abled persons." Personally, i don't give a cr@p what you call someone who parks in the space marked with a blue sign with a little wheelchair picture on it, but it should at least make freaking sense! I suppose that's not as bad as some girl i was talking to once who said, "i'm not heavy, i'm just fluffy," but it's close.

So what stupid euphemism drives you the most crazy?

Vertically challenged is one that you hear far more often. That one drives me nuts.

Butt and crap. "Get your butt in there!" So stupid sounding, you need @ss in that context, @ss in every context for crying out loud. "I just stepped in dog crap!" Now come on, $hit is $hit and that's all it should be labeled; not poop or poo, just $hit.
