CamberwellOz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 This reminds me of word bingo. We used to play it all the time at work. Hours of enjoyment.

Nero Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 'Gotten' instead of 'got'. It is very, very affected and very, very naff.'Random' is another hackneyed word.In fact, most cliched language gets my goat these days. If you fancy a real laugh, go and listen to the Jeremy Vine show from Friday at around midday. There was a guest whose English was so poor and so choc-full of cliches that it would be very difficult to have parodied him.

Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 A colleague organises large group meetings that go on for at least two hours and fills them with a quick-fire delivery of as many words as possible ending in 'ality' and 'isation' (we have even had 'isationality') in order to bludgeon everyone else into exhausted submission. I guess the idea is to demonstrate intellectual superiority, but secretly I suspect the stunned silence that follows each speech is because people are too polite to say, 'You do know that's not a real word, don't you.'It makes my inner Anglo-Saxon seethe.And I have 3.5 hours of meetings with this colleague tomorrow.

HonaloochieB Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 'So'. A small word I know but when overused it makes you want to come out swinging.

jumpinjackflash Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 when people refer to just about anyone as a 'legend'. "He's a leg".People who don't know the meaning of 'literally'. "It was so hot in there, I was literally dying". Er, no you were not.

Ant Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Gotten is awful.I abhor dynamic target-focused managementspeak best-practice blah blah policywank bollocks going forward. It invariably makes me think the speaker is either a) an idiot, b) trying to hide something that I won't like or c) both.Utilize is another pointless, ugly word. Please use use!

Keef Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lots of things I hear the kids on the buses saying do my nut in..."Bare", as in "it was bare funny", or "she's got bare shoes"... I can only assume it means lots / very.Another little gem "he gives me jokes" which I think means that he makes me laugh.

jumpinjackflash Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 yes agree with you on that one Keef!Also, morons on buses calling each other 'blud'. "Do you get me blud?". Why don't these idiots realise how stupid and pathetic they sound, oh and they should pull their trousers up too.
