Utilize.
At the end of the day, our bottom line will be enhanced if we right-size our localized human assets and increase reliance upon off-shore incremental labor contingencies.
awfully - as in “that’s awfully nice”
are (pronunciation) - this is “are” house.
Eww
Burn - I blame That 70’s Show for this one.

Terms that annoy me:
New & improved
At this price, they won’t last
Half-mast (when referring to flags on land)
Think outside the box (yes, it’s still around. I heard it just yesterday)
segway-I dont know why but that word bothers me-segway,segway,segway-aahhhh!
mother fucker = why the hell is this a bad thing?
and
cutseyfied words like cowinkydink and cutseyfied
New combo words like “ginormous” make me crazy. We already have words that do the job.
Of course then there’s a few hundred corporate jargon words that make me nuts, but too many to list here. See my site for a WHOLE bunch of them with definitions.
Britney
Paris
Nicole
Lindsay
Jessica
BEhooves

Is a brown dwarf a small turd?

I’ve even been a Numismatist*, and I still think that it is an irritating word.
It makes you sound like a stage magician who only hypnotizes people to act like the Numa Numa boy or something.
(*for profit, and yes, I made my money and got out long ago, though I still have a box of foreign junk for the kids.)
Brangelina
Bennifer
Any other combination of a couples name.
Plus, my boyfriend and I would be Brat(Brooke and Pat)!
I had a bunch of them, but I got distracted by your underpants and penis emoticons. Anyway, I’m going to go with:
Having said that…
Guesstimate
Invite (first syllable emphasis, used as a noun)
Confluence
emoticon
Politically-correct.
“Too” cynical/sarcastic.
Well-meaning.
Family-oriented.
Oh, yes- and Ann Coulter (definitely!)

Wouldn’t she be the posterchild for the word ‘Trobe’?
One I heard recently was ‘The Martha Militia’ used to describe her ‘militant’ followers who still believe she was innocent and men conspired to ‘frame’ her…
Any controversy/scandal that the media uses the suffix ‘gate’ with for their catchphrase.
Ever since Watergate, every scandal has become a ‘gate’. It makes no sense whatsoever and makes the reporter/media sound completely asinine.
Faghag
jumbo jet
crayon
Tycoon
I also really thought that “gitmo” was one of the lamest f-in little “newsworthy” terms I had ever heard-funny how little words can just piss you off?
disorientated
Disoriented is correct but disorientated is commonly accepted as well.
I guess people mixed together “disorientation” and “disoriented” to create that stupid word. You just sound unedumacated when you say disorientated. I think it’s the word I hate the most.
team building, I’m just an electrician I don’t need a team.
Lipids.
always irritated me in science class, and now in fat-burning scam commercials.
Blog.
(scandal)-gate. I agree, that’s ridiculous.
I also HATE when people say “supposibly”. It drives me up the freakin’ wall. I guess they do things they’r “supposeb” to.
PENALIZE (I imagine being whipped with life-like dildos)
DOILEY (Sounds dumb, by etymology is cool.)
COCKPIT (Does a female pilot sit in a CLITPIT?)
“I DO DO that…” & “What it IS IS…”
“Obviously”, I hate it when, particularly sportscasters, use this ad infinitum. If it’s visible, it’s obvious-don’t tell me, I can see. If it’s obvious, I can see it, don’t tell me what I saw. Tell me what you think, you mindless twit, about what you saw!
Hybrid bank name combos… WesBanco, Ameritrust, Comerica. And what the hell is a “Wachovia”?
I’m almost driven to a life of senseless crime over the edge by ‘their’ vs. ‘there’ which seem to be used interchangeably on the internet. GIGO.
to too and two is another one on the internet.
“Impact” when they mean “affect”.
:boob: 
:wang:
“Wearing two hats” meaning to do two jobs.
“Main Squeeze” meaning “bimbo.

[Look at your avatar...]
‘Your’ & ‘You’re’.
Flatulance - I mean really, who ever flatulated?
I agree with Derek Blog is sooooooooooo lame
Terms:
Couture (I get my clothes at K mart)
George W Bush (and anything from his mouth)
Insurrection (used for Iraq war)
Rush Limbaugh (and anyone like him)
Grass roots organization (What??)
HDTV (I’m lucky my TV is Color)
Colonoscopy (not gonna do it)
Spinal Stenosis (cause I have it)
Supposably,
Gal
“bimbo” for “main squeez” hahahah
“the Africans” when a foreigner is in Kenya talking to me about my fellow Kenyans and referring to something they think they do better.
“I love you” three words that just mean you are a convenience of the moment and you will be tossed out soon
Phat
Floozie
“Junk in the trunk” - Personally, I prefer to call it booty. However, I don’t call it “bootylicious.”
I hate it too when people mistake “their” for “they’re” and all that. After my mom (who is a teacher) drilled it into me to use proper grammar, it makes me twitch to hear people use the phrase, “I did good.” No, no you did not.
Almost forgot another one that annoys me to hell:
Yogilates.
~Bowel movement
~Girls don’t sweat, we glow/Girls don’t burp/Girls don’t fart…
~privates, ‘down there’ and any cutsey names for
~”That’s hot”
~Suppostably
~Estoopid-If you’re gonna insult me do it right!
~Bladi bladi bla/bla bla bla/yada yada yada
~Whiti/Chicanified spanish words:
laminar for laminate, it’s enmicar
Brekas for brakes instead of frenos
Ponchar to punch instead of golpear
Checar-to check is revisar…I can go on and on
~Phrases like: Orale vato, que ondas guey, bajate pa vajo del carro homes. Dile a tu ruca que mi jefa la busca. Te morreates a mi carnala o que guey? Dejame ‘garro mis chivas y nos juimos. Ay jueputa me queme!
Actually, supposably is a word according to some dictionaries, but it bothers me also.
Yeah the entire “their/there/they’re” thing bugs me too along with “then/than”, “effect/affect” and “your/you’re”. Most politically correct words make me wanna kick the inventor in the balls too. Things like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are so sterile they have no real meaning. And they wonder why youth today is so desensitized…
I completely missed the “Gesture Wildly at the Elderly Day”. What the heck is the story behind that?
he’s good people.
Keep it on the downlow.
OOPs I is a knucklehead. That is what I get for using my daughters avatars!

Pablo with a captital “P” you can be funny
I just learned a new one this minute. “Prosumer” - a portmanteau formed by contracting either the word producer or professional with the word consumer.
God. save. me.
