It’s not even wrong grammatically. Suspend doesn’t only mean to hang from something. It also means to stop temporarily, as in putting someone on suspension, suspending a project, and so on. Suspension of disbelief means stopping your normal habit of disbelieving so that you can buy into whatever’s being pushed at you.
You (general) can hate the phrase, but it’s not incorrect.
Also, the only time I’ve heard “my bag” as anything other than literal is in Austin Powers. “That’s my bag, baby.” 
On my local news, every accident is horrific or tragic or some earth shattering dire adjective. It wears on ones nerves. And if an accident isn’t that significant, is it worth reporting on?
I hate “it is what it is.”
I had a job interview last Monday. It was for a pyramid scheme. They asked me if I can give them “one word to describe yourself”. I asked them if they were kidding. “Why not two?” I asked. She said she wanted one. So I said:
“Hey, if a garbageman can be a ‘sanitation engineer’, then I can be ‘dynamic’.”
“Ooh! Good word!”, she replied.
“Are you kidding me? That’s a bullshit word I spouted out for you. It doesn’t mean anything. Out of curiousity, what’s the most common response you get to that question?”
“Unique.”
“That’s ironic.”

Sounds like a personal preference to me. Maybe that particular combination of syllables is just irritating to Struan for some reason. I’ve never heard of anyone having trouble with that word–“functional” is a perfectly cromulent adjective and the derivational suffix “-ity” is a perfectly cromulent way to turn adjectives into nouns. See also:
reality
causality
fatality
Struan, I’d be curious to hear just what it is you don’t like about the word. You made a reference to “ubiquitionality”, but have you ever heard of the word *“ubiquitional”? The analogy is a non-starter.
The business trends that really irk me are the use of “extreme” for every fucking thing (“Extreme Roofing”–I shit you not, I’ve seen it) and how everyone is turning every single business name into a possessive. It doesn’t make any sense. OK, so the bastardization of Cafe Milano into “Milano’s Coffee” could be justified if you tried hard enough; but why the fuck would an ice cream place be called “Cold Stone’s Creamery” (who the fuck is Cold Stone and why would he own a creamery?) or a hookah lounge be called “Fumari’s” (who the fuck is Fumari?). It’s getting so bad that the discount retail chain “GTM Stores” actually has “GTM’s Stores” on a sign in front of their Santee location.
What’s wrong with “my bad”? The “bad” they’re using (a noun) is a different word from the adjective you’re referring to. Just like “bad” in “Bad Motherfucker” is clearly a different word from the “bad” in “bad sandwich”–they have completely different meanings. Other examples of the same phenomenon (all definitions and most quotes taken from Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary):
warrant (v): to serve as or give adequate ground or reason for. “promising enough to warrant further consideration”
warrant (n): a commission or document giving authority to do something. “open the door, we have a warrant”
affect (v): to produce an effect upon. “poor customer service affected our sales today”
affect (n): the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from bodily changes, as in “blunt affect”
box (v): to engage in boxing with
box (n): a rigid typically rectangular container with or without a cover, as in “a cigar box”
It’s no skin off my knees if certain phrases irritate you (or anyone else here), but that doesn’t mean you have a license to “correct” the people who use them. I’ve played basketball since before I can remember and nothing beats “my bad” on the basketball court; you don’t have enough time to say “Sorry, my mistake”; just saying “Sorry” implies that your error was a personal affront to a particular person, which is an odd way to describe a mishap in a team sport; “my fault” is awkward, “that was my fault” is unweildy, and “sorry, that was my fault” doubly so.
Err…I don’t know if you were just using this as an example or what, but it’s not. It’s Cold Stone Creamery. No possessive.
BayleDomon, that is the very point of my post.
“Dynamic” is a bullshit word that doesn’t mean anything? 
I am dating a guy who does this. I did finally go off on him about it. “I never said anything about doing anything! If you didn’t hear what I said then you didn’t hear me say to do anything, so just say ‘What?’ Okay? What’s so difficult about just saying ‘What?’?” My boyfriend is not Southern though, he’s been in Florida (not really considered “Southern” except by Northerners) almost as long as I have and I never picked up that annoying habit.
I also have a boss who does this, he is from Texas - not Southern either, fortunately he’s not a boss I see a lot.
Yeah … I’d have to hurt you.
I’d only use something like that for shock and disbelief about something, “Who said what where?!” and it’s use would be very rare.
On the positive side, I like "Oh, Shit!"
I sometimes use a line from The Simpsons: “Who shot who in the what now?” It tends to get a laugh.
In the context in which I was presenting, yes. One word can’t encompass everything I’ve experienced, dreamt, love, or dislike. I pulled up a word that sounded pretentious and she ate it up. I then told her that it was bullshit.
I have to say, then, I don’t really get it. Is there a franchisee around you who’s called it Cold Stone’s? Is it just a hypothetical used to make your point? I’m sorry to be nitpicky, I’m just confused as to why you’d use a specific store that doesn’t use a weird possessive to gripe about weird possessives.
I think he’s just referring to people adding possessives that don’t belong in the name. Like assuming that because there’s a McDonald’s and Wendy’s the other burger place must be Burger King’s or Burger’s King … or something like that.
Rereading my post, I can see that I was unclear. What I meant was, it pisses me off that people add the possessive case to business names that don’t have them. It frustrates me to no end that people see a business name and then just imagine a “'s” at the end of it and insist that that’s the right way–in cases like Cold Stone, Fumari and enigma (sic) the proprietors put a lot of thought into a name that would put out the vibe they were looking for, and throwing a “'s” on the end makes it sound like a cheap little storefront struggling to make its rent. It bothers me even more when their managers are so profoundly stupid that they can’t even agree on whether or not there’s a possessive in the name. It’s not difficult:
… Or, what Wile E said.
Oh, I got it! When individuals throw the possessive in there by mistake, not the businesses themselves. Gotcha. Yeah, I’m totally with you on that.
I guess they are related to the folks who decided to verbificate ‘action’ and morph the perfectly good ‘done’ into the ludicrous ‘actioned’.
It’s old and I always thought it was more a fake Scottishism: 'Anyhoo, laddie, let’s go get a wee dram".
And then there’s the ubiquitous “free gift”, which, apparently, are not the same as contrasted with gifts that you pay for.
Wow! Now, all of a sudden, I love this phrase, ‘Action Item’.
If anyone gives you that line about “no I in team”, give the response Michael Jordan supposedly gave: “But there’s an I in win”.
