Words/expressions I want to be eliminated from usage RIGHT NOW TODAY ENOUGH ALREADY!

I’m not opposed to the concepts expressed by these words, but I’m so freakin’ tired of hearing and reading them. Find another way to say this stuff for pity’s sake!!

Baby bump

Iconic

Multicultural

Awesome
I’m sure I’ll think of some more and I will add to the list.

Groovy list, dudette.

Someone is not a happy camper.

I was at a corporate conference recently where our Minnestoa coworkers were spouting “awesome!”

Then I flew back to Georgia, to listen to coworkers talk about their “grand babies”

Then there are words like “baby-mamma” that I’ve only recently begun to use (ironically), but I’ll stop if everyone else stops.

No! Don’t do it! It’s a trap! I used “totes”, like, totes ironically and now I can’t stop!

“Perfect storm” is one that makes me stabby every time I hear it.

As does the word “stabby”. :smiley:

And can we please quit using the word “gate” as a suffix for every political scandal?

Truthfully, I’m not a fan of people referring to their ‘food babies’ if only because the next thing I think of is that they’re soon going to make a ‘poop baby’ and that’s not very pleasant.

Yeah, that makes me killy.

I hate hate *hate *the overuse of the word ‘solution’ for any service. Yesterday I drove past a retirement home with a sign out front that said “Senior Living Solutions!” :smack:

Furbabies.

+1 for removing “baby bump” from the lexicon. I also don’t want to see anyone’s pregnant belly. No one. Except possibly my daughter and even then I won’t want to see it unclothed.

Saw the thread title and I came in to post this one. Of course it was the first in the OP.

I don’t like “baby mamma” either, but I really hate “baby bump”!:mad:

“Hubby” as in “I gotta ask the hubby [if I can buy this $3 used toy for my kid]”

Stop using a cutesy name for the man who won’t let you spend three goddamn dollars for a toy without asking first.

Decade… 2 decades!! That is 20 years,can’t you say that?!?

OMG, I thought women only said that around here. Sweating over $23.75, saying they need to discuss it with their old man.

Easy peasy. How about screwy youie.

It is what it is. No shit?

All variations of “awesome”, i.e., awesomesauce, awesomelicious, and the like.

I know, right? You’re stupid, right?

And “furever home.”

Wow, are you going to hate the Lego movie!:slight_smile:

Synergy. How about I synergize my foot up your ass?

Never again should anyone drop the “s” form their “pants.”
The singular of pants is pants. Even if you cut your pants in half lengthwise so you only have one leg it is still a pants leg.
It’s like news. Talking about a singular story in the “new” would sound idiotic.

I never heard those and I hope not to.

I’m afraid to ask what “food babies” are.

Please tell me they’re not babies that are raised for food. :eek:

“It is what it is” makes me want to slap the person across the room.
