    Does not irony have an outcome different than expected?

    "Physicality"

    This one is 3 words, but I can't stand "score the basketball". You can score, or you can shoot the basketball, but how the hell do you "score the basketball"?

    You take your **** put some spit on it, and **** the **** in the ****.


    Next question?:)

    There's no need for the term, period. It's stating the obvious. Unless you're just fat - referring to a fat woman's "baby bumb" would be insulting.

    I'm going to add "BFF" and "Bestie" to the list. What makes them especially egregious is the fact they are now used primarily by people tragically late to being hip.

    It has become a spoken word: "oh-em-gee."

    In fact, any audible version of "LOL" (even audibly saying "lulz") or "OMG" or even "WTF" deserves being punched in the face.

    "LOL" might be the worst. If you're LOLing, then just fucking laugh!

    On the soccer field I hate people using "unlucky." It wasn't unlucky you just sucked and missed the goal by 10 feet. I think it came from England because every English person I play with uses it nonstop

    Shut up about having "haters" already. Sorry, but you're not important enough for people to actually hate you. Welcome to reality. The rest of us hope you'll stay for awhile.

    I "lul" sometime. ;)

    Some business speak terms I hate:
    - Leverage as a verb. It is a noun.
    - Circle back. You will discuss in the future, not circle back.
    - Add value. If you say that, you're not doing it.
    - Business use of the word "win". "Getting the report done today would be a huge win." Almost nothing grates on my nerves more than someone talking like this.

    It is also a verb.

    What about you flaunting your Asian princesses in Hong Kong? That seemed like some unnecessary flaunting and bragging. How about you take your own advice?

    Edit - never mind, I can't. Apparently you have a full inbox. Delete that stuff, and while you're at it figure out where Hong Kong is.

    Clearly you get the idea. Feel free to PM, I cleared some room to read whatever drivel you want to write me.

    Will do.

    Just a reminder to avoid sexually suggestive material for the sake of the advertisemens on this website(Adsense).

    To stay on thread topic, I hate when people use abbreviated words instead of the actual word. Justin made a good point with "totes," it's the worst. Also, anything Rachel Ray says.

    It is, but it's generally used that way by dullards like project managers.
