What words/phrases would you nominate?

blogosphere

web 2.0

vegetarianism

"I have an idea on how to destroy all tube sites"

"clean coal"

ibill 8 chars

sticktuitiveness

"joe the" anything

Vegan
Guesstimate
Vertical Market

Sarah Palin

monetize

I hate that fucking word.

does Joe the Pornographer count in all of this? haha

I am not sure if this counts or what you're looking for, but for me it is the bastardization of the English language or any other.

Example: All these acronyms (sadly there are going to be people who have to look that up) people use in their texts and internet communications are beginning to bleed into everyday, face to face interactions.

Take "cuz", short for because. Friends of my kids actually say it that way, not cause but cuz. It makes me cringe.

I also hear people say the following, "That made me lol." I am sure some of you have experienced this yourself.

As time goes by, thanks to laziness and the dumbing down of society, 100+ years from now English won't be recognizable to what it is today.

:2 cents:

The word Tube should be banned

yuppers should be banned

He counts, but nobody can refer to him in the third person. :upsidedow

the word Friend and guy when saying hi to someone.

Nothing annoys me more when someone says HI FRIEND! First off if im your friend you would know my name and why make it impersonal?

"At the end of the day..."

Carbon footprint is terrible

Pure jokes

irregardless
A whole nother
All of the sudden
Goatse
Sarah Palin

Osama Bin Ladden
Achmedinejad
Troubled Assets
Worthless Paper
Foreclosure
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Band aid mortgage
Mortgage Broker
SEO

oh i forgot bush george w and his whole family

- bro

- meh

- referring to something as scary when it obviously isn't. For example "that -insert sport- player is so good it scares me", or "this team is scary good".

"For fuck sakes" instead of the proper "For fuck's sake" always gets my goat.

Also "gets my goat", now that I think of it.

lol yeah and any other words that have to do with Al Gore and the Global Warming Scam

"IT IS WHAT IT IS"

Ban it forever! :Grrrrrr

"fail"

I heard someone tell me that something is "fail-ish" (borderline fail) the other day and suddenly the whole fail thing got really stale. I'll miss the fail pictures, but I think that word needs to go away.

lol

That's my word... :mad:

...I mean, what the fuck is with people who say "lol" in a real life conversation?? :1orglaugh

I caught myself doing that ONCE back in 1996 or so and one of my employees ripped on me about it. :disgust

I have to sit and think about this.

britney spears

lindsey lohan

waddup...just sounds stupid to me.
meh...shows how apathetic the youth of the world are today.
air miles...in regards to food, don't like where it came from, grow your own vegetables.
fair trade coffee...seems to be the big thing around here (Australia), I understand poor people grow coffee, I'm all for them getting a great price for it, but (coffee retailers) don't feel so smug as though you're doing the world a favour when your coffee tastes like shit.
And anyone that says 'what' in place of 'that'...ie: 'I'm going to the store to pick up that book what I bought.' I want to kick people in the teeth when I hear them say that.

"You should.... (insert unwanted advice)

I would love to see those two words disappear from existance.

'I could care less'

it is

'I could'nt care less'

This one:
"I do"

I've never been crazy about "owned".

because most people rather be a kike than a nigga :thumbsup


lets ban the phrase " lets ban the phrase" .

Back in the day. Across the board, but especially when it's from a teenager. What? You mean last week?

Across the board.
