I shudder when I hear,

‘my bad’.

Can’t stand ‘LOL’ either. Have never used it and never shall.

One more..

The use of “folks”. As in “those folks over there in Iran who are aiming nukes at us,” or ” the folks who think global warming is a hoax (another word)”, or “folks need to get along”. Wtf! Folks? Rubbish…

Ok…let me think
HERO for anyone who does anything remotely brave, good or necessary
MONEYSHOT referring to anything that is not porn related..By people who should know better!
White people using very black slang…stop already…
INAPPROPRIATE to describe any kind of questionable behavior
CONVERSATION. Thank you Hilary, as in “we need to have a conversation with Putin about his intentions in Ukraine and the quantity of Botox he is using in his face.”
GUYS as in “those guys over at the dept of defense, or Vatican, or local Harley dealership”by people who should know better. (Hello media)
EVER after every goddamn event. The best Christmas Ever, the best sale ever, the worst wedding ever! Stop it.
Fairy tale wedding..this is2014 girls…

I hear and hate nouns used as verbs. Please understand that I am a journalist and the people saying these are PROFESSIONAL WORDSMITHS:
“Architect a solution to the problem”
“Please effort that story”

Throw a hashtag in front of anything and I get pissed.
Life is not Twitter.
My worst, hated, hate?
#blessed

I see it and think “fuck you”

Awesome is way overused, at least where I live. Absolutely everything and everyone in Austin is awesome and it’s driving me nuts.
I don’t know what YOLO is but it makes me think of the word yellow.
“Oh, snap!” must be a G-rated substitute for “Oh, shit!”
Beginning a sentence with “So”, especially when writing an article or blog post, ensures that I will not read any further.

When anything is described as ” so fun” rather than such fun that drives me fucking crazy.

“Quite Unique”
“Rather unique”
“A little unique” and so on.

Something either is unique or it is not unique.
