"meh"

 

"teh"

 

"pwned" or "pwnd"

 

"snap" or "oh snap"

 

"having said that"

 

"it is what it is"

 

Words used by my wife that drive me nuts:

 

"housebound"

"overwhelmed"

"absolutely not"

"you can X" where X=something she wants me to do (this drive my 9 year old crazy too, and he has a hard time being respectful about it).

ALL office-speak. For example:


touch base

follow-up

from 30,000 feet

let's take that off-line

circle back

in terms of


etc., etc., etc....

 

 

 

Or these ones:

Welcome aboard (people say this when someone is being introduced as a new hire)

Let's take that online

You dropped the ball on that one

go team

team building

All of the above, plus all references to being a "team player". If not wanting to pick up other people's {censored}, and drag their dead-weight asses over the finishing line means I'm not a team player, then so be it.

 

All corporate jargon = instant fail.

"Utilize". Congratulations, you've just wasted 4 letters, because "use" would've been fine. Watch this term, since it'll be the next big hit in the Bull{censored} Bingo charts after "synergy", "leverage", and "solution" (even though the last one is excusable: people have a problem and they're looking for a solution)

 

"Their/There/They're" used inappropriately.

 

"You're/Your" used inappropriately.

 

"u/ur" - you have no excuse if you're not typing on a mobile phone.

 

"plz" - yeah, this really makes me want to help you.

 

"XD" when you see this used as a smiley, try to recall Eric Cartman from South Park fame {censored}ting. Epically.
