Annoying trendy new words

[sparta7]

when one of our account managers asks me if my team is able to take on a bit of work, as in do we have the time and resource, he always says "do you have the bandwidth?".

 

It does my fucking head in and I always ask him what the fuck he is talking about.

[Top of the Kop]

PWNED!!!!!! what the fuck?

[Original202]

The word 'Heart' replacing 'love'.. As is 'I heart supporting Liverpool' instead of I love etc.

 

And worse still.... I <3 Liverpool

[Stouffer]

And if we're talking management speak, "debrief".

 

Debrief is a military term that's been around for years, no problem with it whatsoever.

 

Briefs and debriefs, it's just the way it is.

[RJ Fan club]

Worklessness, its unemployed or lazy cunts.

[Original202]

"True story"

 

Seems to be the in-thing for lads to tag this little line onto the end of every sentence, particularly when it comes to answering questions.

 

"You have a good weekend?"

 

"Yea mate, it was awesome. Banged a stripper. True story"

 

I hate this saying. True story.

Management speak in general

 

Going Forward

Idea Showers

Lets touch base on this

Thinking outside the box

Feed it back to him

 

ARGH

Our CEO used the term 'process re-engineering' ten times at a meeting last week. WTF

[Harry Squatter]

Diversify

 

Can-do culture

 

all singing from the same hymn sheet

 

Furnish - not as in furnish your house with a new 3 piece suite from Next but "please furnish me with the information i need" - this has been said to me on numerous occasions and at every point I have laughed in the person's face.

 

Guesstimate/Ball park figure

 

Development opportunity - basically when a manager cant be arsed doing something he gives it to a lower grade and makes out that it is a favour which will benefit the unwilling recipient's career

The latest in word is 'so'. You'll see this prefixing more and more sentences/statements/pronouncements in the months to come. Remember where you heard it first.

So, you never watched friends?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Random is my most annoying word. Mostly because nobody ever uses it correctly.

 

Such as, "oh my god, my night out last night was, like, sooooo random!!!"

 

Really? Was it reallyrandom?? I mean was it though?

Did you perhaps select around 50 locations and 50 freinds, then put them all inside Bingo balls and have an independant adjudicator randomly select one location and one friend for you to go out with that night??

Then, during that night out, every bar you frequented and each drink you had was randomly selected by the same aforementioned independant adjudicator. Then, at the end of the night, did he put the names of many fine slags and the numbers of many taxi firms into the aformentioned Bingo balls, and repeat the random draw process to ascertain which girl you bummed and what cab firm took you to your bumming venue?

 

That would be a random night.

 

Cunts.

 

 

I tried to warn you:

Making a statement and sticking "no?" on the end of it. At first I thought it was an amusing Anglicised version of the Spanish thing that Rafa does, but if it was once that it's now just tedious.

[elvis]

Who the hell came up with "my bad" ? .

Really annoying.

[Bootroom]

Who the hell came up with "my bad" ? .

Really annoying.

 

First post in an amusing thread. Thanks alot guys.. Now I dont dear to speak out in my nonperfect english :smile:

 

"My bad" is used by Homer Simpson I think..

[Remmie]

Who the hell came up with "my bad" ? .

Really annoying.

That one really riles my brother, it's definitely an American thing. If someone utters it, he usually adds sentence at the end.

[dudek#1]

"Mackey D's" makes me feel ill.

 

Not so much a trendy new word, but an infuriating grammatical error...

 

People who use "then" instead of "than" - "I'm taller then you." Fucking Dime bar.

 

Edit: And also, when the letter "H" is pronounced "haitch."

[Travis Bickle]

"Are you attending the Team Hudlle aty 2pm?"..Fuck off.

 

And people who say things like "I love me bed me.." Why add the second "me"???

 

Oh,and "Sublime....."

[stringvest]

So, you never watched friends?

 

no, not in that way.... and not in the 'that was SO not the right way to use so" way either, and not in the Irish way, or the Japanese way either.

 

It will be on the beginning of sentences that aren't questions. It's coming.

and one from this site... appending random words with 'esma' is no substitute for wit.

I've seen it and you're right. It just comes out of nothing:

 

"So I went out last night, and met this really hot girl....."

 

"So I was at work right, and this client came in..."

 

etc

 

It's a concern alright.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I hate it when the pitch of peoples voices go up at the end of a sentence. It sounds Australian. I am hearing this more and more everyday. Annoying as fuck!

I just read that post and every sentence did that in my head.

Horrible.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Appropriate.

[smokinstu]

Lid instead of Lad... what the fuck is that all about!? does my head in.

 

"alright lid?"

"no some retard is talking to me!"

[TheBitch]

Uber. Someone at work today said 'wow thats uber cool'

I wish i'd slapped him. Really hard.

Uber. Really annoying word, and people who say it normally put on some pathetic voice when they say it. It should be legal to carry CS gas and use it on anyone who says uber.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fuckdust!

 

I keep saying this involuntarily, every time something goes wrong.

 

I don't know whether this counts because it doesn't annoy me when other people say it - only when I do.
