I am with steveW on:
Orientatedededed, sounds like the person has a stutter.

In climbing:
"send" the term is new to me and I don't get it ?
The frigg'n thing was there for millennium and will be for that long after you go, so where the heck are you "sending" it too?
Remember what Warren said when he (finally) topped out on the Nose ?

In the computer/ Ecomm world:
"Leverage" and "robust" - gimme a break will yah already.

I am an ole fut I guess but I am still not ever "down" for most things,
but I am "up" for anything.

Of course all the great oxymorons:
"Military intelligence"
"Airline food" and
"Acoustic amplifier"

"actually"--this needs explaining?

"wonderful"--the ONLY thing that is this is the World of Disney.

- "not so much" in the style of Borat.

I don't mind it...much....when a person uses the phrase occasionally, but when you can practically lip sync on cue, knowing the person will use that phrase, I think "Not so bright..."

 oh snap! when said by a white, middle class person who would piss their pants and tuck their tail between their legs if the ever actually were the butt of a joke 'in the hood.'

 in the 'hood, and any other mimicking of gang slang by the same, but especially when accompanied by body english, facial expressions, hand gestures and fashions of the same.

Ah, Ed, we called that "bullshit bingo" where I worked. I used to "literally" play it during meetings.

K-Man, JeannieD used to say "In terms of" and "Going Forward" so frequently that my boss and I would keep score. We were easily in the double-digits in a one-hour meeting. And one other dude said "Low Hanging Fruit" and looked at you.... with a between-the-knees dangling motion... oh geeze....

Indeed, "orientate" is not a fu_cking word goddamnit and I usually flip on the retard that uses it.

Having said that, I now hate hearing, " Half-right face!" almost as much.

Buzzwords used to gag me but since my corporate job got downsized 11 years ago and the tv transmitter got whacked in a storm a few years later, I'm sufficiently isolated from the madness to say nothing reaches me often enough to get under my skin.

But those focus-group generated buzzwords like "change" come close
