My seasonally appropriate one is "Merry Xmas!"
We're not celebrating the birth of Malcom X, the holiday is to celebrate the birth of Christ. It's ok if you don't follow those beliefs but then stick to the generic "Happy Holidays"
OMG
OMFG
like a boss
Just sayin
"amazing"
"Nom-nom" (I think this refers to eating. But it's stupid no matter what it refers to)
.............. barf
Has anyone mentioned "epic" yet.
Epic is putting a man on the moon, not the effin' cheeseburger you got from the Daily Grind.
Epic is "The Odissy", not the four foot swell you rode past the Canadian tourists.
"epic" is what I do all day every day.:rockin:
Designations such as "not/not". That second not just seems superfluous. And even worse is that people think it looks cool so once one person uses it everyone else adopts it.
Wouldn't that be a double negative? "it's not not beer" ="it's beer"... If I am not not reading that right...
Everywhere I walk, like in the store all I hear is, I know, right?

One that seems to rear its ugly head this time of year.
Doorbusters.
I get it that it was witty when the person first coined it, now hearing it 15 times in 3 commercials I want to injure someone.
A friend is a commercial artist. He constantly gets bugged by clients about "is it done yet?"
His standard reply is that every minute he spends talking with them is a minute he isn't working on their project.
You'll know when it's done, because it will be sitting on your desk!
"Preventative" as in "preventative care".
It's "preventive" you flocking idiots! No wonder you can't even build a website!
"my bad" WTF are you, a third grader?
Interestingly enough: preventative is actually a word, a synonym for it is preventive, but preventative is a medical term while preventive is a general term.
EDIT: it seems this way from an initial reading, but could also be more complicated than that (but preventative seems to be used by the medical community often). Basically, both are right in their own ways.
Anything that has the word "awesome" in it.
So...over....done...
Oh - and anything Comcast has ever written...about anything...
Cheers!
I only think it has become accepted through constant misuse. If "preventative" is a word, it's root is "preventate". As in: I want to preventate anyone from using this silly word.
preventative is a word - just google it (there's one that gets to me sometimes - google, do I have no other choice of search engine now that you have commanded that I use that one? ). One source says it has the same meaning but preventative is used less often - 3:1 I think. I have always know it from preventative maintenance. But I agree that the use of a non common word in place of the well know preferred one just to sound smarter is annoying.
Or are you that arrogant enough that you cannot admit fault sometimes? If this doesnt apply to you then,um, my bad?
Read the title of the thread. Sorry if my "arrogant" post annoys you. Actually, I'm not sorry. Chill out, dude.

People who use search engines other than google also are 100% guaranteed to use internet explorer. They have also likely installed a few "helpful" toolbars in to said browser...
