Er, maybe we've done this too many times before. Hazelnut. Panties.

'Actually' is my recent biggie.

Posted by tgl on 2008-07-28 23:41:36 +0000

Really, really?

"issues" instead of "problems"

Posted by Miriam on 2008-07-29 13:15:08 +0000

Seriously. Um, yeah.

Not really extra or unecessary words as are other rsn posters in this thread, but lately I have not been feeling the recent marketing euphemism "Gas Sipping". Makes me want to end my TV in a fit of rage.

SHUT UP!!!!

"Discovery Tool" rather than "Library Catalog"

"Knowledge Base" rather than "FAQ"

Dongle. Horrible, horrible word!

Posted by MF DU on 2008-07-29 16:41:02 +0000

Wow. No argument there. I didn't even know that that was a word - but I already hate it.

"How do you young people say it, 'chillax'"? I heard this on TV or in a movie, but I never heard anyone ACTUALLY use this non-word.

NPR had a whole show on tonight about new business terms. while i kind of liked "multi-slacking," the rest of them were all abominably lame: things like "frazzing" (frantic, ineffective multi-tasking), and "on- and off-ramps for women" (because "sometimes they get stuck in traffic" trying to reenter the workforce after taking time off to have children). ugh.

Never heard of it. What is it?

Posted by TheFullCleveland on 2008-07-30 10:30:42 +0000

I hear the word at least 10 times a day. Fortunately, I don't have to say it all that often.

So, with apologies to George Lucas, is a 'dongle' the glorified restraining bolt that was placed on R2D2 to restrict his access to unauthorized users and keep him close by?

Posted by G lib on 2008-07-30 12:45:53 +0000

I'm so sorry, TFC. Hearing that word regularly would make me want to kill. "I want to Kill" "KILL" "KILL!!!" (reference, anyone, besides chippy?)

I'm not into 'paradigms'.

Posted by MF DU on 2008-07-31 11:34:28 +0000

10 years ago I liked 'paradigm', but In 2008, I have to agree with you.

Posted by tgl on 2008-07-31 18:11:24 +0000

Your p_______ shifted.

From my ma, and I have to agree: 'Orientate'.

'Leverage' as a verb. 'sync' as a verb is okay with me, but not if you say "sunk" for the past tense.

An old boss of mine was an adherent of this verbal strayegy. Blech.
