There are words and phrases that make my skin crawl. Keeping in mind that my ability to navigate the English language has already been trumped by my children, I represent zero authority. I think I’m just an asshole. Some of these are perfectly fine, they just hurt my brain. Anywho, here is my list of grievances that I would like to see disappear from the language:
Anywho - Zesty - Fascia - Happy Camper - In no particular order
24/7 - Hob-Knob - Repurpose - Move the Cheese - Outside the Box
Double-Speak - Short and Curlies - Lectern - Case in Point
Vis-a-vis - Stalagmites (but strangely, not Stalactites) - Chipper
Parka - Rouse - Effervescent - Obsequious - Uber
Porno (but not Porn) - Not for nothing (N’ fo’ nu’in) - Palimony
Sheaf - Tummy - Season to Taste (Sean) - Regina
Turn of Phrase - Salacious - Break Bread - Buzzwords
Hiccup (when describing anything other than the bodily function)
Break Wind - Scandalous - Tongs - Libation - Aerate
Smegma - Gift of Gab
