sans

It is so fucking over used on this site. It does not make you appear smarter by using it so quit it or I'll name names.

There are a few particualr offenders who I could point out but I won't.......................... yet.

but sometimes they sound cooler, peaches! non?


blake3030  said about 4 years ago:

without


Peaches  said about 4 years ago:

It's too pretentious!


Peaches  said about 4 years ago:

But maybe it's just because 'sans' is just a normal word when you speak French.

French people don't just add random english words into a sentence, only words that have no french translation.

incentivise.

not a real word.

incentive/directive/expletive/corrective/digestive.

if you can't have directivise, expletivise, corretivise or digestivise then you can't have incentivise. correct english is ''provide and incentive'' or alternatively ''encourage''

bullshit made up execu-speak word that is now being added to on-line 'dictionaries'


daveyaviator  said about 4 years ago:

aw, that really hurts

actually, nah...it's been shitting me too of late

Brits say 'naff' when something is shit.

I think naff is naff.


Dogbastard  said about 9 months ago:

But the Brits are also fond of saying ''grim'' when something is, well, grim.

Quite like that.


jbiz  said about 9 months ago:

Brits say 'naff' when something is shit.

I think naff is naff.

And they also say, ''pants'' which I can never remember if that means good or bad.


HEB  said about 9 months ago:

Naff is closer to lame in meaning than shit
Unless you're telling someone to naff off

Pants = poor, rubbish (Pants more often as an abbreviation of underpants rather than referring to trousers)


tugboat  said about 9 months ago:

''inbox me''


Charles Kwerty  said about 9 months ago:

''standard''

''Jerk''

Tramdriver  said about 9 months ago:

Yeah 'jerk' always struck me as Yankee.


moo-core  said about 9 months ago:

''inbox me''

I hope I am never friends with anyone who ever says this shit. Unless it's sarcastic.


goldfoot  said about 5 months ago:

''gifting''. As in ''consider gifting your loved one diamonds for Christmas''


stanleysparkles  said about 5 months ago:

''AMAZEBALLS'' - I fucking hate people that use this 'word'.


GrantleyBuffalo  said about 5 months ago:

The use of the term ''space'' as a venue/gallery/location-for-mutual-masturbation has always shat me. I think it must be the frustrated artist inside me.

GET OUT, FRUSTRATED ARTIST!


jbiz  said about 5 months ago:

''AMAZEBALLS''

I immediately judge you when you use this. See also: epic, win, fail, much.


TheBastard  said about 5 months ago:

Fo Shizzle J Bizzle!

Ahh ha haha! JBIZ, would that annoy you if I called you that?

I JUST thought of that then. Genius!


LinkRamble  said about 5 months ago:

Pro-active. Used to cop that one a lot in my performance reviews at my last job, as in 'You need to be more ......' FUCK OFF!! I'll be more PRO-ACTIVE when you give me something interesting enough to be fucking PRO-ACTIVE about!

Aaah, that feels better. F'ckn corporate jizz speak.


max bulk  said about 5 months ago:

'Myself' when people really mean 'me'.

'Utilise' when people really mean 'use'.

The phrase ''in terms of'' when used as a means to lengthen sentences.


MarsAudiac  said about 3 months ago:

I hear ''Naff'' has it's aetiology in gay communities in the 80s. It was originally an abbreviation - ''Not Available For Fucking''

Anyway, I came here today to request that the phrase ''Baby Bump'' be stricken from the lexicon. ''Baby Daddy'' and ''Baby Mama'' can fuck off to a particularly fiery enclave of word hell too.


carwashhair  said about 3 months ago:

''healthful''. Isn't ''healthy'' good enough?


iguessso  said about 3 months ago:

When people refer to dark storm-clouds as 'ominous'.
