My turn
Here are some of my least liked phrases and words:
Agree to disagree: A redundant juvenile sounding phrase. Try mutual(ly) disagree(ment)
Folk who interchange accept for except. "I cannot except this item" Morons.
Momentarily, as in "Someone will be with you momentarily"
Momentarily means FOR a moment, not IN a moment.
People who say forte (meaning strongest ability) as For-tay. The word is pronounced FORT and it is an English word meaning strong ability. For-tay is an Italian word that means "loud".
Any of these new millenium business buzzword speak, ie.
"Work smarter", "At the end of the day...", "think outside the box", etc.
The Apprentice is NOTORIOUS for overusing these played-out words and phrases and I read someone that if you made a drinking game out of this show where hearing one of these buzzwords/phrases required you to take a drink, you would be wasted in no time flat.
Any politically correct terms, such as "physically challenged", "handi-capable", "womYn", makes me sick to my stomach. Get over yourself and get a thicker skin.
