    "I'm a firm proponent of paradigm breaking - outside the box thinking."

    I'm tired of the word "beast" or "beastly". Maybe it's only a Rhode Island thing, but I hear people say shit like, "That is so beast!" or "I went to the bar and was beastly on my drinks!" or "I would so go beast on that chick!" It's fucking annoying. The only time someone should be referred to as a beast or beastly should be during a professional sporting event like football or basketball. Dwight Howard? Beast. Guy in a polo shirt doing 3 whole shots of tequila? Not a beast.

    Got another one.

    "Accountability"

    Accountability is a pretty general concept that means "Who's responsible." You're accountable to your subordinates, for example. You're accountable to the work you do. Easy concept, right? Here's how it ends up getting used...

    "Hey Omegaham, go find everyone in the shop and get accountability."

    Just because the word has fucking COUNT in it doesn't mean that it means "count the bodies and make sure everyone's here."

    Just like "behoo of," the aforementioned mouthbreather will always pronounce this word "countability." I hear that and feel like choking someone.

    My personal pet peeve is various forms of the word networking. Particularly if network is used as a verb. "You should go network with some people in the other department." Why can't you just say 'talk to,' like a normal human being?

    I think MBA courses must contain a top-secret course in "how to speak without actually saying anything." Then everyone else imitates these fucks, and suddenly no one speaks in normal English.



    People (even sometimes myself) misuse exponentially all the fucking time, and as a math major it annoys me. Exponentially does not in fact mean "changing by a lot." It means "changing at an increasing rate." These are not the same thing. Also, in order to use this word, you must have more than two data points. "Sales this year are twice last year's total, showing exponential growth." No, try again.

    Shudder. I find blue collar idiots say this word a lot. Fuck. I also hate the word preggers too. When ever a girl mentions they might be "preggers", usually in the oh shit I fucked up manner, I just reply that they should have made the dude wear a condom before busting a nut all up in dem guts. The graphic imagery usually turns them off from responding.


    Also, as far as business speak. Fuck resumes and coversheets with the retard business speak that makes you look like highly organized, detail oriented, team leader when in reality you just drank 8 cups of coffee so that you could take restroom breaks every half hour to shit and crank one off.

    I always feel its the epitome of white trash when a woman refers to her husband/boyfriend/whatever as "my man" in general conversation. "My man and I are going food shopping." "My man said we can go to Chilis for our 5th year anniversary!"

    That shit belongs on Jerry Springer.

    I can't stand it when people actually say "OMG", "BFF" and "LOL" in conversation. Granted, I don't like them typed out either, but it drives me crazy when people actually say the abbreviations like they're real words. Sorry, but it makes you sound like a 12 year old girl.

    Pissa is another fake word that annoys me. It might be a New England thing, but when someone says, "that's wicked pissa!", it just makes them sound like a complete moron.

    (However, I do enjoy "wicked".)

    http://www.xkcd.com/919/ sums it up quite nicely.

    Words I hear and immediately flare my nostrils at include:

    Tweet - I fucking loathe twitter.
    Layman's terms - When people use this I just assume that they were dropped as children.
    Cutesies - ...

    "Gross", "ew", "yuck", and "creeper" usually conjure up an image of an entitled bitch haughty enough to look down on things but too stupid to do it creatively.

    It's a bad combination.

    They say this country has a gun problem and yet the people who say this still haven't found the handgun required to snuff out their own little miserable existence.

    "She is totes my bestie!"

    Enough of a bestie to hold your hand while I slowly choke the life out of you?

    And when girls affectionately call each other "wifey." That makes me want to go berserk.

    Does she cook, clean, and put out on demand? Then she's not your wife, shut the fuck up.

    /just kidding for all the actual wives on the board.

    I've said it before, but the word epic is only reserved for things that are massive in size, ie the ocean, space, and the Grand Canyon. When a kid video tapes another kid falling off his bike and screams out EPIC FAIL!!! I weep for our future. When it's used in normal conversation, all I can think about is me punching that person in the face over and over again.

    And fail is another one. That is reserved for when people do poorly on an exam, not when someone drops his sandwich on the floor.

    You deserve a kick in the cock if you say the phrase "touch base". The guy next to me says it all the time and it's all I can do to not whip my dick out and pee on him.

    The new internet-spawned slang is irritating to anybody with a brain, but the "Bro" virus that's slowly eating away at Western culture like a cancer especially burrows under my skin. Granted, I like using the word in a very sarcastic tone on here, but if you're a guy and you ever- even once- use the term "bromance", YOU'RE GAY. You're either keeping it in the closet or pushing the urges out by picking fights at the bar, but either way you are not 100% heterosexual. This "man date" shit also needs to be shot into the sun. Guys do not go on "man dates" unless they're hitting each other in the shorts later in a pillow biting exhange program. Guys hang out. Homosexuals have "man dates". What, you ARE a homosexual? Geez, my bad. You just don't pull it off. Bro.

    Ladies, don't call anyone a "BFF" or "Frenemy". Ever. EVER. .EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER.

    EVER.

    ...The first thing I do when you you use those "words" in a sentence is I subtract one zero off how much I assume your annual salary is. Then, I ask you why the fries are taking so long. Why are you actually TRYING to sound like a moron? You can't call anybody your "best friend forever" if you constantly back-talk (and backstab) them. The funniest thing about that retarded abbreviation is that the idiot girls that use it would ditch her "bff" for cooler, more attractive friends faster than you can say "high school cafeteria".

    If Mom calls me and I don't answer, she ALWAYS leaves a message and she ALWAYS says that she's just calling to touch base with me. It's pretty much her go-to phrase.
