"rad"
"synergize"
"Invest your time don't spend it."

And, my all time favorite,
"Good managers manage, they don't work."

All allegedly means in that context is that someone other than the person you're talking to is the originator of whatever message is being conveyed. When I say that something "allegedly" happened, all I mean is that I didn't see it myself, but I heard tell about it from someone else. The word doesn't imply that there was a witness or evidence or anything like that. In fact it is literally there to make it clear that whatever is being said is second hand information at best.

I'd rather someone say "Tom and Joanna were allegedly kissing in the copy room" if they did not actually see the event with their own eyes.

"Tom and Joanna were kissing in the copy room" without "allegedly" sounds like they know for sure that it happened, which implies that they witnessed it or have proof.

So I think "allegedly" has very nearly the opposite effect of what you said.

Standard meaning vs. common usage. It's a similar story with rape; in ye olden days it did refer to a sacking, or pillaging, and the term was eventually applied to the same sort of violence in a sexual context. Now, all most people know it from is the sexual context, and it's basically impossible to use it without that baggage.

1) "I could care less"

because the meaning is brain-dead backwards, it ought to be "I could NOT care less."



2) "methodology"

when the proper word ought to be "method" without the "ology."

"Ology" means "the study of" which is not what the person who wrongly says "methodology" means....it's METHOD

Bro.

Out of your teens? Past freshman year of college? Then stop. Everyone's opinion of you nose dives if you're over 18 and still use it. Especially to act cool on the internet.

"BAE".

No explanation needed.
