    Just Kidding - How typical of the WBT$ to speak of molestation......something they are experts at.

    Maybe it's because I'm fluent in French but when someone ways 'walla' instead of 'voila', I kind of die a little inside. One phrase that gets bandied around my workplace is 'sense of urgency' which has lost all meaning and makes me nuts. Also, when people say 'literally' when they mean 'figuratively'. Oh really? Your eyes literally popped out of your head? That must have been excruciating!

    AWESOME!

    The most over-used, yet mis-used word that I can think of.

    There are damned few things in this life that are truly awesome

    Prolly, instead of probably. Sim-yoo-lur, instead of similar.

    Although correct, the use of 'pressurized' irritates me as in: Mr Smith was pressurized into declining the offer' - I always think of a tyre being pumped up.

    I feel 'Mr Smith was pressured into declining the offer' sounds better for some reason.

    Consumer. I am much more than a consumer, and actually consume very little. It's depersonailzation at its finest.

    Speaking of depersonalization:

    Domestic violence vs wife / husband / child beating

    Sexual assault vs rape

    Government Fees vs New Tax

    the list goes on ....

    :D

    "Fruitage".

    Fruitage of the spirit.

    Arrrrgh. I hate that phrase. What the hell is 'fruitage', anyways????

    And another phrase I abhor:

    "I am sorry you feel that way".

    WTF? How can someone be sorry for someone else's feelings? That makes no sense whatsoever. None. A person cannot apologize for how another person feels.

    I want to slap people who apologize for my feelings. *slap* Ooops...did that hurt? Oh...I am sorry you feel that way.

    OC - that is soo irritating, and passive-aggressive behaviour at its very BEST! lol, I know the feeling ... so you are NOT going to apologize for xxx actions/words? AND you are going to minimize my feelings? Sorry, have no time for you, loser. :)
