I really don't like the following words and phrases and would NEVER use them:
-Farce -Stink -Fart -Pundit -Stump (ie to stump for someone) -Raised brows (ie Palins tour raised brows) -Turned heads (ie Palins tour turned heads) I am sure there are more. What are yours? |

ALL of the big bag of b.s. parenting jargon/lingo - transition, etc.
MOST of the dumbass business school jargon/lingo - leverage, price point, etc. |

| 11:50, haha, I really dislike the "going forward" ... I know a couple people who use this VERY generously (so annoying!!) |

From the land of reality TV: "It is what it is" and "I didn't come here to make friends." Ewwwwww.
"Think outside the box," "same page," and "touch base," even though I do use them sometimes at work because they're such easy cliches. |

Not a word or a phrase but excessive punctuation, particularly in the work context, annoys me.
Do you know what I mean??? |

I second "supper". I posted that in another thread.
Also: "You know what I mean?" or "You know what I'm saying?" as a verbal crutch (i.e. ending every statement with that phrase) |

The asinine, cliche phrases:
I'm sorry for your LOSS. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do. I can't IMAGINE my life without X. Blah, blah, blah, and blah. |
