I hate the word....

Like Grandpa says, its only called PMS since Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

Sigged

and, I hate it when someone misuses the word über. For the love of god, if you must use it, use it properly. Do not say "oh, that so totally über!" that's like saying: "oh, that was so totally very!" it's a MODIFIER! USE IT CORRECTLY!

or I will ship you to the grammar concentration camps..
 
I'm sick of the word "literally" being used incorrectly. Musicians and sportscasters are the worst offenders:

Musician - "I literally beat the crap out of my bass."
Really? What did you do with all the crap? Is bass crap difficult to clean? That must have been very embarassing for the bass.

Sportscaster - "His feet were literally golden chariots of fire!"
Um... no they weren't.

and, I hate it when someone misuses the word uber. For the love of god, if you must use it, use it properly. Do not say "oh, that so totally uber!" that's like saying: "oh, that was so totally very!" it's a MODIFIER! USE IT CORRECTLY!

or I will ship you to the grammar concentration camps...

It's also German and umlauted.

It's also German and umlauted. Pronounced more like "eeber" than oober" ... somewhere in between.
 
it's not a word, but a phrase: Trippin' Sac.

I will die a happy man if I never hear "I know I was trippin' sac but I swear that was the best show ever last night," again.

A good friend of mine lived next to a bunch of full-blown, Magic-Omelette-for-breakfast type hippies for a while. Nice guys, but every conversation was about "trippin' sac."
