Most annoying commonly used word..

Synergy. I think I have ground to plea for insanity after I kill the next person who uses that word to justify their cause.

 

[PepePeru]

'the way forward'

 

[JRock]

Correct, Yes, 100%, Ehh, Uhh, Zeee, Router, Image

The russians in my office somehow manage to get atleast 3-4 of these into every sentence that leaves their mouth.

Complected. It sounds vulgar. "Complexioned" sounds more eloquent.

 

[MiniDoom]

'what not'

 

[FreshCrabLegs]

"You know."

For fun, try counting the amount of "You knows" an interviewee says.

So far, I've noticed Michael Vick is the worst. (my observation.)

Infact, anything "2.0". Especially other things related to the folksonomy/collaboration/viral-marketing/bullsh!t circle-jerk.

Blogosphere is annoying, but I don't follow any blogs, so that I haven't been exposed to said word much isn't surprising, as it's used mostly in blogger circle jerks anyway.

Like is, like, basically really annoying, right?

My current "favorite," however, is a new word that my differential equations math professor made up, combilation - as an example: "it is a linear combilation of these solutions."

 

[manowar821]

"patriot" or "god"

 

[StevenYoo]

I dunno about you guys, but i'm really digging "supposably"

 

[Fingolfin269]

Proactive

No idea why this bothers me but anyone who works in a corporate environment will agree that this word is used way too often.

I'll add "naurries" to that list. Fscking dingoes.

I keep hearing people use:

IRREGARDLESS

That being said, the SYNERGISTIC CONVERGENCE of idiocy is AMAZING, given the PARADIGM SHIFT...

That one stands beside 'orientated' as bastardization of the real word, with no change in meaning.

My psychology professor doesn't like to hear the word "Like" too much, because it has become her pet peeve now.
