Even though I haven't heard it in a while (you can thank me later) but when the words "Know, What, I'm, Saying" are strung together as if its a name, example: Noam Sane? sounds like it....
Gnome Sain?
Know'm'Say'n?
No'm'sane?
Guess I haven't been in the company of gangsters, (wanna-be or otherwise), but then againevery once in a while I'd call'em on it ...
Gangsta Mo-Dee - Know'm'Sayin?
Jingy - Uhm... No! What are you sane? I think I misunderstood exactly what the message you were trying to convey!
That would trip them up and then they would realize that they were dealing with an English speaker instead of a "ganguage" talker.

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"

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

Hillary had a funny one the other day. A female racer intended to do a practice lap with some HC ad on the car. It had to be taken off because it would have been an illegal campaign contribution. (Any paint or decal on race cars has to be paid for.)
Later Hillary said something like "there are two gears, D for going forward and R for going backward."
The racer quietly pointed out to her that Indy Cars do not have a reverse gear.
She did not point out that all the turns at Indy are to the left.
Or that if you keep going left you end up back where you started.

Every thing is "modeled" these days. "Business model", "weather model", "model the behavior of... ", "sales model", "the bla bla model", "model the bla bla".
This goes along with all the stupid MBA speak people use (many of the words and phrases have already been covered) to sound smart or hip (apparently hep).

I'm gonna have to jump on the "like" bandwagon too. And add "you know" for good measure.
"And then, like, you know, we like went to the 7-11 for a big gulp. You know?"
I'm supposed no one has mentioned 'nucular'(new-kew-ler) for nuclear. I don't really know how to spell it as it's not a word and consequently doesn't have a spelling.
And the next time I heard the word "stonker" (or see it on or in a magazine) someone's going to be eating a tire-iron sandwich.

What freedom? I can't live here for free. I can't change anything on "my" property without a permit... If I get naked in my backyard and someone sees me, I can get in trouble... So where is my freedom?
Plus, what is so free about forcing a people to have a government they don't want?

Phrases count too.
Anastasia, spot on about "freedom"
It's interesting meeting people from countries with "repressive" governments, as many times they enjoy alot of freedom in their lives, and have a much better better grasp of the concept.
While I can't even change the color of "my" house w/o getting it cleared by the homeowner's assn. (Last time I checked I was still in AK) I did manage to have a very freeing experience the other week when I free soloed a route and stripped naked at the top to soak up the rays.
Sorry for the thread drift, I hope I didn't scare anyone with TMI.

"Onry" when they want to say "ornery."
A typical conversation with someone who says "onry" and I will go as follows:
Me: Sorry to say this, but you're mispronouncing that word. It's actually pronounced "ornery."

I'm laughing over here at this thread.
"Reference" as a verb is totally lame and improper. It's "refers to" or "makes reference to."
The phrase "it begs the question . . . " is an improper bastardization of a term of art from logic. I see it everywhere, from student papers to the NYT or other supposedly learned information outlets. Don't do it. "Makes you wonder" or "raises questions" or some such variation on the idea works fine without transression.
"Informs" used to describe inanimate / intangibles that are incapable of action. As in "Tarantino's films are informed by his years working in a video store." Or "the artist's current paintings are informed by the work of 20th Century painters like . . ." Wretched and ignorant filler for those incapable of hewing to real English.

hey there say, all...
not that i am sick of the words, but i do REALIZE there is a problem here, when hearing these-such over-and-over from the grandkids, so i CALL them out, on it:
1--"huh?" (after i place a sentence out into their as-close-as-possible airwaves)... (after refusing to respond with a repeat, it turns out they HEARD me all along, as i full-well knew)...
2--"hold up" (when i need some "action" out of them, while they are on a handheld video game, letting the world revolved around them,uselessly) *that is why, here, we do NOT USE them, we do things together when they come over...
3--the ol'
"un-huh, unh-unh" battle between sisters...
4--"but i don't like it" (to any and all food that their mom sends over for them to eat for breakfast, lunch, or supper)...

I get really annoyed at the misuse of "there's", the contraction for "there is". So many people use it (even news anchors) when they are talking about a number of things (plural), when they should be using the plural "there are".
Example: "There's a lot of people going to the Sushifest"
Some people use the contraction "there're", but I don't think Webster recognizes that as a real word.

I always wonder about that one, ydpl8s. While "a lot" is the same thing as saying "many," "a" is the single, indefinite article, and wouldn't that make it singular? If it's singular, shouldn't it be gramatically correct to say, "There's a lot.."? The corresponding plural would be, "There are lots..."
If you think of "lot" equalling something like "crap-ton," then the singular works. One wouldn't say, "There are a crap-ton of tic-marks on this boulder."

I suppose "lot" is not the best example to use, I can see your point (oh boy, another one that bugs me, when people use "your" when they mean "you're"). A better example would be, "There's so many people here".

Modern life, and English - a swarm of superlative and unnecessary adjectives, chasing a noun, any noun, to give them meaning.
One way they used to teach writing was to get people to write about a subject they were familiar with. Then go over the piece, remove all adjectives and adverbs, and see how it read then.

Ok! I forced myself to read every post in this thread.
To my surprise: decimate is not denounced.
TV newscasters find it a wonderful word to describe disasters or mass-killings.
The dictionary definition of decimate used to be from Roman use of the word:
To select by lot and kill one in every ten of.
I find it interesting that the Free Dictionary http://www.thefreedictionary.com/decimate
gives this information about public acceptance of mis-use of decimate:
Usage Note: Decimate originally referred to the killing of every tenth person, a punishment used in the Roman army for mutinous legions. Today this meaning is commonly extended to include the killing of any large proportion of a group. Sixty-six percent of the Usage Panel accepts this extension in the sentence The Jewish population of Germany was decimated by the war, even though it is common knowledge that the number of Jews killed was much greater than a tenth of the original population. However, when the meaning is further extended to include large-scale destruction other than killing, as in The supply of fresh produce was decimated by the nuclear accident at Chernobyl, only 26 percent of the Panel accepts the usage.

Fritz- I'm with you on decimate. Just because you get to write for/speak on TV doesn't mean you are literate.
Decimate was used by Gengis Khan to effectively control populations. You ride in. Line everyone up. Count them off 1-10. Draw a number out of a hat. Kill everyone with that number. Do that at 3 or 4 towns and the rest of the population magically cooperates.

decimate does not equal annihialate, purge, slaughter, genocide.
Yes, I've also heard it used incorrectly recently.
Applied to New Orleans for instance. About 1500 people died. For comparison NO had about 1500 police officers and about 100,000 stayed behind.
About 1/60 who stayed died.
OK, maybe that's modern decimation. Pretty shocking when you think about it.
From Wikipedia Gengis Khan: "Many of these invasions resulted in the large-scale slaughter of local populations, which have given Genghis Khan and his empire a fearsome reputation in local histories.[5] It has been estimated that his campaigns killed as many as 40 million people based on census data of the times."
The net effect may have been decimation (1 in 10) but locally it was more like extermination.

can't believe none of these has appeared in 257 posts:
War on Crime
War on Drugs
War on Terror
wars on crime and drugs make linquistic sense. They're against specific people and activities. Well defined by law. Whether the wars themselves make any practical sense is arguable.
War on Terror
Being pedantic: "terror" is an emotion, terrified is the state of being.
"terrorism" is a thing, sort of, loosely defined. But is terrorism an activity or a political ideal like communism or capitalism or libertarianism?
We might call it the "war on terrorism" if we really wanted to understand it, but then we'd have to explain what we're doing and why we're doing it.
Someone's terrorist is someone else's freedom fighter.
By Bush's definition, the Boston Tea Partiers might have been classified terrorists.
To the remains of a family half destroyed by a drone fired missile we are terrorists.
We are adrift when we can't articulate what we're fighting for, or who we're fighting against. The definition of asymmetrical warfare.
more pedantry:
don't get me started on "climate change" when you really mean "global warming". They are intimately related but in no way are they interchangeable. One is the cause, the other the effect.
There's da*% all we can do about climate change directly except build dikes and significantly change our way of life until the earth fries like Venus. There's a huge amount we can do about global warming.
Sometimes getting the language correct really does matter.

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling, by Mark Twain
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli. Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirent speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

my favorite was when i met some dude in indian creek on his last day there and he told me that it was really cool he now knew how to trad climb. i had a good laugh.
i don't know, but when anyone ever uses that word it makes me cringe. "Do you trad climb?"
it makes me want to say no and walk away as fast as i can.

Words you are sick of
When it comes down too it I'm no longer sick of much of anything, except maybe the trolls on this forum.
But one of the things I just read led me to question something that I have said many times in the past, no taken a little too far, but only in the interest of making fun of language.
Someone said "it's all about them when you are gone" in reference to money matters, the them in this instance being family. It's all about them when you are gone.
When I think about it, I find not much of anything is all about anything else. The world is all about more than just dirt. The oceans are all about more than just water. The mountains are all about more than just peaks. and all about more than just rocks, or trees.
People are all about more than just what they do. People are all about more than what they watch on TV, or how they pay their bills. They are all about more than if they can pay their bills at all.
So when I think about it, it's almost never all about a single thing. Ever.
Not even when you meet the love of your life is it all about any specific thing. As with most things on this planet, things are rather complex. So it would be more correct to say its all about everything. That's what it's all about!
Isn't it?

Incentivizing an activity must be good (incentives are always good aren't they? That's a tautology) therefore you can't be against it. Regardless of what it really means. Totally meaningless out of context.
In context it usually means some groups of people are going to get screwed.

It amuses me to see my previous responses. They omit so many words and phrases I hate. Mostly, I hate jargon used in place of ordinary English words, or word that sound impressive and mean nothing.
"Accountable" tops my current rogue's gallery. If my job makes me accountable, it means others can blame me. If, in contrast, my job makes me "responsible," it means I need to make it happen. I want someone "responsible," not "accountable," for actions.

Randisi, I was tempted to add "conflate" to "accountable." "Conflate" strikes me as a pretentious way of saying "combine."
WyoRockMan, I loved your bingo card. Our most common word was missing, however. one way those of us in the insolvency law game differentiate and identify ourselves is how we complete the phrase "in the best interest of the ." Most lawyers would answer "child." Insolvency counsel answers "creditors."

I'm sorry to see so many having problems with this, but I think it is an extremely useful term for climbing. At least for those of us who work at climbing something that is hard at first, in order to succeed climbing it in a reasonable style after time. In Argentine climbing vernacular there is a word that works pretty well: "encadenar" but I can't think of anything in English (except "send") that works quite the same way. Maybe you could say something like: "climbed without falling or outside assistance after various tries" or even "free climbed the route in good style, given the context" but those are pretty damned awkward replacements for "send". In some cases, the phrase "free climbed" might work well, but it sounds stupid, for example, if you want to say that you succesfully climbed a boulder problem. Think how absurd it sounds to say: I "free climbed Midnight Lightning". I suppose you could just say "I climbed Midnight Lighting", but that might also mean you put a toprope on the boulder and managed to successfully toprope it after much hangdogging, which would be completely consistent with the phrase "I climbed it" but not with the phrase "I sent it".
Of course, you can also "send" a climb on toprope (you climb the problem on top rope without any assistance from the rope except for the sense of security it gives you in case you were to fall). I think we all know what that means. You can "send" a sport-climb: this could mean you "redpointed" it, putting draws in the bolts and climbing without assistance, or even "pinkpointed" it: clipping draws that were already in place. For sport climbing routes, this distinction always seemed a bit ridiculous to me, but if you "send" a sport climb it should mean one or the other (thus if you "send" a sport climb on top rope, it should include the phrase "on top rope" just to clarify the meaning).
You can even "send" trad climbs. In this case, if the climb involves gear placements then you should be placing them on lead. If the the route has long runouts, in order to get the send, you should be be doing these runouts clean, on lead. Of coure the word "sent" does not imply you did the problem "flash" or "onsight", only that you managed to climb the route, over time (perhaps after various attempts or with outside beta) in good style, given the context. The only time the phrase "send" becomes redundant and even absurd as a replacement for the word "climbed" is when you are free soloing. If you managed to climb something free solo then you obviously sent it, or you'd be dead.

Where I come from, the English phrase that describes your success after working hard on a route is "I climbed it."
You can toprope it, yo-yo it, fall on it, one-hang it... but when you finally get from bottom to top in "reasonable style" you can say "I climbed it."

OK, sure, but that leads to the strange state of affairs (which has happened to me so many times in my life) where I've gotten to the top of the route, without actually having climbed it! Well at least that gives me something to say to the tourists who ask how I got the rope up there. I can say "I sure as hell didn't climb up!"
I did Midnight Lightning.
Not me, not close, but I was only once in the area, 33 years ago (I'm sure now it was 1981 because it was shortly after Tobin Sorenson died and at one point I somehow got involved in some spontaneous party action in El Cap Meadows which also included Sorenson's brother). A little bit of history: while staying at Camp 4 the rumor started going around that Kauk was going to do ML. Next thing you know there was (what seemed to be) maybe a couple of hundred climbers crowding around Columbia Boulder and here comes Kauk who passes through the crowd and does (climbs, sends) the problem with ease. It kind of blows my mind to think that now-a-days these local, unknown, kids where I live are going out on the weekends and doing new problems on a regular basis, that are several grades harder. In Argentina, these boulders are "encadenados" when they are done.
Back to the topic at hand.
I have avoided writing TFPU on this site, like the plague, but I can´t say I'm sick of it. I suppose I am sick of people describing something that has absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality as "gay".

The Montreal frenchies I used to climb with on Baffin Island called me "lightweight." But that was because I didn't consume twelve million calories at every meal, not because I couldn't get up sh#t.
I got them back though, when I introduced them to Coast Range approaches. Lightweights, indeed.
"Lightweight" is one word I'm not going to get sick of.
