I am bothered by peoples' overuse of the word "random." People are now using random to describe things that are merely unusual or off-the-wall.

For instance, me and some friends recently found ourselves talking about some small, insignificant scene in the movie Ghostbusters, which followed by a discussion of Dan Aykroyd. A person present decided to interject with something along the lines of "OMG we're talking about Dan Aykroyd...thats like so random!"

NO, it's not! I didn't just spew out 2 "random" words from my vocabulary...I mentioned Dan Aykroyd with every intention of discussing that very person.

By the way, Dan Aykroyd = CRAP.

they don't call it "ypsitucky" for nothing.

It's more of a phrase than a word I suppose, but when people refer to "plans for world domination", I get pretty fucking annoyed.

It doesn't annoy me that much but I do sometimes hear people say "naa mean?" and think how the fuck did 6 words become one lazy groan and yet we all understand it? Or sometimes "naa'm sayin?" which is 7 words!


Same with "I'ma". How did "I am going to" degenerate into 3 letters?

How about "Supposably" or Supposevly" instead of supposedly.

Ouch!

The phrase "culture of life" annoys me a lot, particularly when uttered by hypocritical idiots like these folks or this guy.

"Convicted of a double murder, Karla Faye Tucker became a born-again Christian in jail. A reporter asked Governor Bush whether he had met any of those pressing Karla Faye Tucker's case for clemency. Bush said he hadn't, but claimed to have seen the Larry King Show when King asked Tucker what she would say if she could speak directly with the Governor. 'What was her answer?' the reporter asked Bush. Bush puckered his lips and, in a mocking, simpering tone said: 'Please don't kill me.'"

the words rachael horning are pretty annoying to me. probably just because she's rude to me for some reason.

Lifestyle.

Bleeeech!

Not that this word is missused, I just hate the use of it.

your lifestyle determines your deathstyle?

"lifestyle" is an baffling word

sometime in the last several years, it took root in popular culture with a vengeance. every newspaper has a goddamn 'lifestyle' section.

the word itself has come to both consecrate incidental decisions and trivialize significant ones

evidently, if you buy some shampoo at an aveda outlet, you have made a 'lifestyle decision,' at a 'lifestyle store' to boot! and if you decide you want to do your part to reduce dependence on oil by riding your bike all the time, you are also making a 'lifestyle choice.'
