Trendy buzzwords that you wish you could just blow up into smithereens

Adorbs or conversate.

“Come with me” is correct grammar. “Me” is the object of the preposition “with.”

Some people clearly guess at grammar. Or they think it’s safest to completely avoid objective case pronouns because they don’t know when to use “I” and when to use “me.” As in, “It was hilarious to Bob and I.”

Also “adorkable” with the rise of the “manic pixie dream girl” (which seems thankfully played out) and gamer girls (who are perfectly fine, just not when I have to hear ‘adorkable’)

Are you an Upper Midwesterner, by chance?

It’s absolutely an upper Midwest thing and has been there for ages. I’m in Chicago and it’s even been here since I grew up in the late 70s and 80s. Read about it here. To me, it’s perfectly standard for my dialect and unobjectionable. If I want to be careful, I may switch to “come along,” but, speaking to anyone I know well, it’s “come with.”

Cool map – thanks!

My speech is peppered with Britishisms, though I don’t say them with a faux, Madonna style accent.

That bugs me a lot (and so do all its variants), but the one that really gets me is when people talk about how something is <whatever> “on so many levels.”

Business lingo annoys me in general, mostly because it’s some unholy combination of pretentious and stupid at the same time. And in its worst incarnations, is actively bad. For example, the current trend where I work is to refer to people as “resources”. This is actively bad, because it reinforces the notion that people are resources to be exploited, and that we’re all essentially interchangeable. Referring to them as people is too… I dunno… likely to humanize them I suppose. And being exhorted to “innovate” and “transform”, when we’re so constrained by slim budgets, business needs, legacy systems and ancient hardware that it’s a huge effort just to find out where there might be a hole in the box just so we can manage to think outside of it a little tiny bit, much less actually do something with it.

Celebrities you didn’t know were X!

Celebrities I didn’t know were celebrities?

I grew up in Chicago in the 50s, and it was certainly common then. My husband grew up in the 40s, and he says it, too.

“artisinal”

Artisanal* (just remember: you can’t spell it without anal!), and who doesn’t love artisanal frozen water?

ok…FTW…(for the win) (ha!..get it?)

BOOM!

seriously, though - isn’t that the fucking worst?
a frat boy staple if ever there was one

And while we’re at it, “clean eating”.

Raccoons do that! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m from central Indiana where “come with” is not used. My sister has been living as a Region Rat for the last 44 years, and I want to correct her every time she says that!

Just sayin’… it’s not in your wheelhouse.

Or mine, either.

Seriously.

"Trendy buzzwords that you wish you could just blow up into smithereens"

“Trendy” and “buzzword”.

spits purposefully on the floor
Also, “whatever-gate” for scandals, was this ever witty, amusing or original? Perhaps once, a decade or two ago; but today this needs to die.

Hack/hacking.

Folding your socks in a neato way is not a “hack”.

Jesus, this. The PM I’m working with actually pretended to not know what I meant when I said that I needed to add a “task” to the Kanban board. “What? Task? Do you mean story?”

No, asshole. A story is what you tell your kid at bedtime. A task is a bit of work I do at the office.

That phrase makes me want to stab everyone in the vicinity. And that new Panera commercial where they talk about their “…and *clean *and real…” food? Fuck you, you pretentious twats. It’s soup, salads, noodles, and sandwiches, FFS.

lol overused catchephrases, then?

Yes! (Others in your post are also commendable)
