Words that need to take a rest

"let's touch base"


always sounded more sexual than intended

Interesting, I've heard it used as an abbreviation for Championship..

I have a teenage daughter. I think she caught it from twitter.

Every bored mom on facebook is 'blessed' for some reason or another on a monthly basis.

It's not Aunt Flo anymore?

Good one. It just bugs me for some reason, especially if it's #blessed.

From the football announcing world, "verbage." Why do we insist on making up new words when there are multiple words that mean the same thing? Lingo. Terminology. Language. Verbage is so stupid because what about all the nouns, pronouns, conjunctions, and whatnot?

[MontuckyFried]

BAE is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I've been hearing more and more people call their loved ones that lately. I wonder if they any of them know that "bae" is the Danish word for poop.

At the end of the day...

Actually the word is "verbiage." It's from French for chatter. Agree it's overused, though.

[Bromontana]

Good point. The level of feel-good hyperbole in the US is absurd.
"It's been a privilege" (working with you, guys, in the sanitation department),
"I've been blessed".
"It's amazing" (whatever creative endeavour your your kid did with his poo).
"This man's a hero" (anyone who's not a complete douchebag, actualy).
Spouses are always beautiful or handsome, kids are wonderful, and I'm so fucking excited to meet you, it's the best day ever. Heyyyyyy !

Love this critique btw.

"thank you so much"

[MakersTeleMark]

Dude, really?

Needless to say.

Then don't fucking say it!

[BmillsSkier]

It is what it is.

Nah, I fucking love that one.

[yeahman]

ship. Teenagers use it to describe somebody expressing some sort of love interest or crush, I think. WTF does it even mean??? Teenagers should have their voiceboxes temporarily removed until about age 25.

Sounds short for relationship.

Do acronyms count? I've had about enough of FIFY.

You know what I'm say'n


My GF's favorite: "it's the best ever!"

How boring life would be if there was only one word for each thing. Try not to be so parochial.

SWAG is shit we all get. Sucks that people don't know how to use it, but it's a good word that I'll keep using when appropriate. Schwag != swag, incidentally.

WTF is bae? Never heard that.

[The SnowShow]

Selfie. I cringe everytime I hear it. My 80 dad said it the other day.

Only thing worse is the act itself(ie)

In the sports tv business, swag means shit we ain't getting

amazing, fat skis do float.

The fact that even mcfatties float on fat skis is even more amazeballs
