Thank you.
Also, let’s get rid of “at this point in time.” Let’s get rid of it now.
Perhaps I should have said “more capable” instead of “smarter”. But, among people who I see use “above my paygrade”, it nearly always means ‘smarter’.
excavating (for a mind)
all these examples just get me all stabby.
“Bro” and “brah.” I use “bro” sometimes (mostly with my brother), but never in the college-dorm context. “Brah” just needs to die a quick death immediately.
Not to me – to me it means “I don’t want to take responsibility for the consequences of this thing. That’s not my job – leave it to someone higher up the food chain.”
I’m perfectly aware the odds favor that plenty of people up the food chain will be dumber than me.
Zombie. Zombie needs to be reburied, pronto.
Organic
And if we can ban sounds, I would make it a felony to play horn honking sounds on the radio. There are several annoying commercials that contain horn honking and every time they play them while I’m driving, I get startled thinking someone is honking at me.
“Pre-planning”. All planning is “pre-” by definition.
Putting “pre-” in front of words ending in “-ed”. The “-ed” says it’s been done- the “pre-” is redundant.
To all those who shall say it’s O.K. since “it’s for emphasis”, I’ll accept that when you accept double and triple negatives as proper speech.
We should abolish the words “foodie” and “badonkadonk.”
“At the end of the day…”
“The bottom line…”
“Dollars to donuts”
“Here’s the thing,…”
“Proactive”
And, of course “Mouthwatering”
Oh, and “obvious”. It is a word you should never need to use.
Orientate. Ugh.
Orient is a perfectly good word. Use it instead.
The way I hear it used is, “That’ll be a massive pain in the ass and I don’t get paid nearly enough to do it.” As eldowan states, it almost never means, “smarter.”
I’m sick of people ‘reaching out’ to me. It makes me feel like telling them to keep their hands to their damn selves, which makes no sense since typically we’re not even in the same state, let alone the same room. Just say you are calling/emailing me to try and sell me something so I can say no thanks and then we can all get on with our day, OK?
Woud you rather they reached in to you? 
“Lovingkindness”. It just looks weird.
“Luncheon” - for some reason this word just bugs the hell out of me. What’s wrong with just saying “lunch”?
“Fellowship”
“At the end of the day…”
“Touch base”
“Get the juices flowing” has always grossed me out
Within the realm of advertising, the word “Technology” when it refers to something that is not technology.
“Our armpit goop has advanced fast-drying technology!”
No, your goop just [supposedly] dries fast. Armpit goop is not freaking technology!
All my students nowadays seem to say “build off of” when they mean “build on”.
“Newton built off of his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy to create his celestial mechanics.”
I try to tell myself that language change is inevitable and natural, but let’s face it, so is resistance to language change, and in this instance I definitely know which side I’m on. Who the HELL let that barbarism into non-colloquial written English?
Sorry, Soylent Juicy, but I just can’t resist:
Let’s touch base at the Fellowship Luncheon to share some lovingkindness. At the end of the day, it’s the best way to get the juices flowing.
