"super" anything - stop it - you're a grown-up. It's super annoying and makes a person sound super immature Like super harsh language much?

I learned something new in yoga today. The question was if Sheba was male or female name. Turns out male. A Sheba is so hot and sexy that people blow pot smoke on him to cool him off.

"Downsizing"
It's just a corporation's politically correct (& chicken-sh*t) way of saying the company's in the crapper & you're being laid-off (aka terminated).

The only chicken-sh*t term more politically correct for "you're screwed" than 'Downsizing' is 'Rightsizing.'

On my job, someone will use a word or phrase, and the next 30 meetings everyone is saying it. It makes me sick.
Perhaps not new, but 'vet', as in we have to vet the candidates for the new position. And 'not of the moment', meaning something isn't impacting right now. Then I'll listen to the parrots for the next month.....

Impact as a verb.

EVOO for extra virgin olive oil. I think that annoying Rachael Ray used it first, but now it's everywhere. I hate it.

Selfie. I freaking hate that word. People have been taking photos of themselves for ages... and it was done just fine without calling it a selfie.

I'm tired of the word "privilege". "Check your privilege", "white privilege", "male privilege", "white woman privilege"... I'm on another board where I swear I see it several times a day.

Amen to that. Just seeing her on TV makes me want to throw EVOO at her.

Oh-oh-oh, I found another one:
"adorbs" [short for "adorable"] Too funny. I have never heard that one before. Though the two words are not new, I have a strong dislike for the CONSTANT use of the phrase " push back". Candidates responses to what the other candidate says about them are now called push backs by those reporting their exchanges.

Totes adorbs
Shoot me now.
Oh and for corporate lingo... when you are all in a conference room having a meeting and someone brings up an issue that sort of diverts the meeting and someone says "we'll talk about that offline" WTF? You aren't ONLINE now. You are in a conference room, there are no computers. Just say that we can address it later.

lil for little.
Someone posted an ad on our facebook community page advertising something for sale - used 'lil' 3 times. In two sentences. Apparently it no longer means 'little' but 'cute'
Adults attempting to type like charming 3 year olds lisping their way through life makes me want to slap something.
Worst case of it I've seen to date: Australian criminal who escapes from jail asks the media to replace her ugly mug shoots in the press with some nicer ones:
www.msn.com/en-us/news/offbeat/woman-offers-media-more-flattering-photo-to-replace-mugshots-after-sydney-jailbreak/ar-AAicg0I?ocid=iehp
Claims she is just a 'lil princess with anger issues.'
No, you are a grown ass criminal. Nothing cute or little about you.
