I'll start off:

Awareness

tojo2000 · 2009-01-08 20:43:42

Pimple

You have to say it out loud. It's one of the most disgusting examples of onomatopoeia. It makes me cringe every time I hear it.

choad · 2009-01-08 20:51:57

Issues

lechero · 2009-01-08 20:54:06

Intentional

Manifest

Or any of the hippie speak from here: http://red-cedar.ca/?p=1106

Effectuate (I have seen this word written in a memo)

Synergy

Actualize

Proactive

Taint · 2009-01-08 21:26:31

"Impact" used as a verb. I will violently impact the next retard I hear using this word as a verb.

sic · 2009-01-08 21:26:41

Can it be phrases? if so:

To be honest with you...

Like I said...

vis-a-vis

Words:

Eschew

Ball-Peen

I do, however, love to scream "SHEET CAKE"

Tribe

There is some bullshit tribe book that is required reading for all Bay Area burning man types. Back in my day we called them “communities.”

I am probably not your fellow American and hope your herpes develops into massive pustules on your dick the day before you are about to bang the cute secretary.

Rightsourcing.

Dirckman · 2009-01-09 00:00:58

I see ya'll tend to be a bit annoyed by business speak, I'll throw down "Procurement" and "Drill-down" to the list.... A similar, but far more annoying version of the same thing to me is legalese.... It never ceases to amaze me how even the simplest of things can be turned complicated and ambiguous for no reason at all..... Another word which I've learned to live with lately, but which used to make me grind my teeth is the word "Product"....

sigmoid freud · 2009-01-09 00:06:07

Stakeholder

Roger_That · 2009-01-09 00:07:18

I kinda like ball peen.

"The hive mentality" pisses me off.

Also, any of the 10 billion trillion scadillion military acronyms I have to hear daily. I play this game in our Monday meetings that I call Acrobingo. I try to see which one of the 6 members of my department can say the most acronyms in their 10 minute update. Not surprisingly, my boss always wins.

JAIDO SURVIAC ARL AMPTIAC SES C4ISR CAPCOM, BRL CAD, MRAP, BLAH BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH BLAH BLAH.

AladdinSane · 2009-01-09 00:07:19

Post-racial (and Post-whatever the New York Times comes up with).

Anything ending in "-ista"

Career coach

"It is what it is" (a sports-talk radio favorite)

Pro-life (sex-hating/anti-choice is the true meaning)

Oh oh oh: "Associate," used to refer to an employee--any employee. Some organizations now insist on calling their employees "partners."

And I got used to Human Resources some years ago.

Or perhaps "y'uns suck." Then we can all go get hoagies from Sheetz.

un-lurks to say I hate:

That is all

I want to slap every person who says that.

Could you also smack anyone who says "... and whatnot." I would but my arms are too short.

Synergy.

And I have to say it a few times a week, because one of our clients is called...yep, you guessed it...Synergy.

Made up words are only cool if I'm the one making them up.

tojo2000 · 2009-01-09 02:22:45

Words I like that probably annoy people:

efficacious
obtuse
lugubrious
vibraphone
wankel rotary engine

One free Internet to anyone who recognizes the reference.

Condoms- They aways were and forever will be RUBBERS! Who the fuck decided to make it so medical sounding.

African-American- I'll take anything else, blacks, colored, etc. Three syllables or less, please.

Gee!- What a faggoty way to cuss.

Vagina- Poontang is much more pleasing to the ears.

Suddenly? Welcome to the last couple of decades.

Chinese people generally don't have a problem with -- as long as you're referring to someone/something from China (I'm looking at you, Mexicans).
