"Panty" or "panties" is such a gross, pornoriffic word. I can't put a finger on why, but it is. My friend who is a writer had a story with that word in and I pretty much told him, unless he wanted to gross out every girl who read it, take it out NOW.

"to prom" - This may be a regional thing, but we didn't say "We're going to prom." We said "We're going to the prom."

I think all three of these are regional things.

This reminds me of when some friends used the word "bogus" constantly. It's just one of those fads that will be over soon.
I've seen Filth & The Fury enough times that the c-word doesn't even make a dent as far as I'm concerned. People saying GD and/or JC bug me a lot more.
Oh, and nouns as verbs. Example: "Journaling" - AAACK!! "Writing in your journal" is perfectly fine and really, you aren't so important that the earth will dissolve if you take the time to say those extra 3 words. Again, I think this ties in with the corporatespeak.
