My new one is the over use of the phrase "called an audible" especially when it's used anywhere outside of a football game...
We deal with an organization at work and their catchphrase seems to be "reach out to you" as in "we just wanted to reach out to you and ask you how you came up with this figure."
You're not reaching out to us, you're asking a question. That annoys me to no end.
Awesome... totally awesome.
Shadddupp you effing yuppie.

There are no degrees of awesome.
Either something is awesome or it is not awesome.
Nothing is pretty awesome

I don't know. Five guys burgers are pretty awesome.
What if someone is both pretty and awesome?

Can't we just call them signs?
Oh, you will. You will.
In their defense, what else would you call a tablet that can also make phone calls? As phones grow bigger and tablets get smaller, they're converging on a new market space and the term "phablet" seems to be gaining traction to describe these new hybrid devices.
"Right?!"
You just shut your face right now, dammit!

Stop it.
What is wrong with "I use that daily at work"?
Now you're just being combative.
*Waits to hear that the word "combative" is annoying.*

As a fireman, I can understand this one. I am also a citizen - and my actions as a FF do not change that. On an incident scene, you've got police, fire, EMS, etc. Anyone that does not fall into those categories are civilian. (Part of that stems from the fact that despite being non-military organizations, police and fire both use para-military rank structure; captain, lieutenant, etc.)speaking of security/police, it's disturbing they use the term "CIVILIANS," like they're an occupying army referring to non-combatants
here in the US, those of us who are not first responders are "CITIZENS"
On a brewing and HBT related note, "sanitization" bothers me. I know it's a real word but it still bugs me.
"Athleticism" is another one in that same vein.
in the same vein: unique.Pretty Awesome.

wow, never thought of that.How about "unanswered points"? Especially when a football announcer uses it right after a touchdown and before they've kicked it to the other team. "The Saints have scored 21 unanswered points!" No they have scored 14 unanswered points and will now give the Panthers an opportunity to answer to the last 7.
