Words you wish to **ck people wouldn't use!

Jejune.

It just sounds pretentious.

Slightly off topic, but something that really bugs me is when people make out that "damn" is a "bad word".

Being honest, I've only ever seen American's express a problem with the word "damn". It has absolutely no weight at all over this side of the Atlantic, or in the Antipodes.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a fuck.

That would have been much better.

"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"

Kills my smell checker every time I hit it.

[Ronja]

Or an e

And idiot me chose a career where I can avoid neither.

It's only picking up a small odour ...but you are a long way away

Obviously you've never been in the same room with someone with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

"Transcends time" especially when referring to a band. I understand what it is supposed to mean, but it's just oh so impossible to know for certain how long the person/place/thing will be popular.

[Berthold]

Jejune.

It just sounds pretentious.

Huh? A word that Archie Goodwin learns from Lily Rowan?

[Audley Strange]

Okay here we go.

Cool. Cool lost all meaning prior even to my childhood when marketing latched upon it to flog their tat to the desperately needy, however even then it was still used to refer to sub-culture. Now everything's cool to the extent that nothing is. The word has lost any value. When pronounced Kewwwl it should be considered a Crime against humanity if you are over the age of 14.

Soooooooooooooo. Not only is it's use almost entirely unnecessary given the content it is used in and given that it's popularity in recent years comes directly from "Friends" using it in every third fucking like, I find it's popularity evidence that T.V. is much more influential than any machine should be allowed to be and that most people exist in a state of almost permanent docility.

"The N Word". The word is nigger, you're don't get round it by saying "The N Word". For all intents and purposes you are saying "Nigger" and trying to be self righteous about it while at the same time implanting the word nigger in the minds of those you communicate that with. (also applies to "The C word" and "The F Word"

[Berthold]

Okay here we go.

Cool.

Heartily seconded. It's a loanword in German.

[hadespussercats]

The phrase "It is what it is."

This comes up an awful lot building things for theatre-- the sense is that there isn't time/money/whatever enough to make the item as awesome as one might have hoped-- better accept what it is you're actually going to be able to make. (I think I've heard the phrase in other contexts, too.)

But it's a stupid, tautological phrase that's all about resigning oneself to mediocrity. Yuck. There's gotta be something better to say.
