That's it, I'm done.

I can't take it any more.

Anyone who uses the word 'flavor' in a business meeting, call, or presentation should be shot.

"The next two slides give just a flavor of what we're talking about..."

NO! NO NO NO NO NO! They give a *TASTE*, not a frickin' flavor!

Who the hell started this bastardization, and where do they live so I can go visit them with a steel pipe?!?



I swear to god, anytime someone uses the word, I drop my estimation of their IQ by 10 pts. It's just idiotic.

Be glad they're not saying 'flava.' :p

I can handle mispronunciations. Nookyular doesn't bother me, and I can almost keep from twitching when I hear someone say "Can I aks you something?"

But totally misusing a word is just asinine.

I'm particularly fond of "author" as a verb.

[gwyneira.livejournal.com]

Grrr.

I has a flavor.

A flavor, I has it.

We're ratholing here, can we take this offline.

Last time someone said "let's take this offline" in a meeting, I said "Wow, the resolution on this immersive VR is *STUNNING*... it's almost like we're already in the same room!"

There was nervous laughter.

Meh, I'm OK with taking things offline; it isn't necessarily off the same line as the one from which you get your bits.

[kimokeane.livejournal.com]

That's the kind of mistake that really makes myself annoyed...

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

I will killlllllll you.

you know what drives me insane? 'liberry.' if you ever hear of me climbing a clock tower with an assault rifle, that is probably what will have set me off.
