You're not changing the topic, you're just making a new topic.

What's wrong with a post-snoodle hazelnut coffee on the bedding?

Moist
Rich (no offense dude), when refering to food.
Crisp
Panties

Alone or together these words make my skin crawl.

UTILIZE - this word sucks so fucking badly. I used to think there were NO reasons to use it, until Chipman pointed out that there is a difference between a "used car" and a "utilized car". When used, it's generally a sign someone is trying to one up you.

SOLUTION - This word used to mean a liquid containing solvents. Now everyone uses it a something relating to an answer.

PROACTIVE - I don't think I have explain this one.

Although I like alienate and empower, Rich, I'm with you on bifurcate and attrition. Funny because the attrition thing is less than a month old...

A lot of wine terminology always struck me as bullshit:

-Fruit-forward
-Bright
-Off-dry
-Mouthfeel

ugh.

Aside from that, my current favorite annoying verbal tic is 'actually.' As in 'Can I actually get a salad?'

On the same track is when someone's in a hurry and says 'Can I just get a _______,' adding more syllables to the transaction at the table and slowing things down ever so slightly. Ugh.Worse when used in conjunction with 'actually.'

Whenever I'm at Zaftigs I just say, "The Lupo". It gets done.

Efficient AND tasty.

pancake
slacks (as in trousers, not the verb form which is fine)
becoming (as in, "those slacks are very becoming on you")

Rory_Stark is right about panties. I was thinking about this a while, and I'm convinced we need a replacement. The brits have something going with "knickers". Thoughts?

'Grunties.'

Posted by on 2004-09-10 11:39:38 +0000

holy shit. I thought Grunties too but I thought a Monty Python fagen would "alienate" and "disenfranchise" our readers.....

along with utilized (and this is a phrase here so Im bending the rules) what about "gentlly used" can we find the mf who coined that phrase and severely beat him or her for bastardizing our wonderful English language?

Posted by on 2004-09-10 13:08:00 +0000

"Grunties" is still kind of gross. It reminds me of Mike F. at boyscout camp calling a shit "a Crunch". That makes me feel sick to my stomach.

How about we stick with the generic "Underwear"?

PS. Eliza-- a snoodle is a snot.

I think what I can't stand is swallowed sounds. Like "ULNa" "HazULNut" "uvULa"

The letter U= evil. Maybe I can avoid *sing them at all?

Posted by on 2004-09-10 17:16:53 +0000

Oh my god, I had forgotten all about the crunch!

other bad words

bright eyed and bushy tailed - what are you a fucking rabbit

Closure. (thanx rladew for reminding about this one)

Posted by on 2004-09-14 23:18:34 +0000

How about the phrases:
"In so far as" or "In and of itself"

Do they count?

Posted by on 2004-09-15 01:59:00 +0000

I heard "utilize" today. I cringe now, I cringe for Ned, too.

Posted by on 2004-09-15 05:31:02 +0000

People have this annoying habit of being in a hurry and adding extra syllables to the transaction by inserting dumb, meaningless phrases like "Can I just." Grrr.
