Supposably.

EDIT: Well, there's an obvious reason, but it still makes me want to stab people.

I cuss like a champ but rarely if ever say "Blow me."

Which really came in handy when I was accused of saying this by some shit-stirring whore at my old job.

"polska kielbasa" I can barely type it, let alone say it. You should all feel the same way (don't axe me why)!

When people use the words "attractive" or "appealing" about other people. They make me think of magnets and oranges, respectively.

Also icky business-speak with thinly veiled sexual innuendos, e.g.:
- "We need to thrust our efforts in this direction... in order to penetrate this market"... etc.

I find it hilarious that people can speak like that and keep a straight face.

party as a verb....

and if I ever actually heard anyone say "I wok hard so I play hard" out loud I'd have to slap the shit out of them on the spot.

"really unique"
i know this has become an acceptable use, but the really part isn't necessary.

Polska Kielbasa...haha! My sister and I use that term when talking about guys' units. Of course, that's where we usually mention as much of the sausage family as possible.

It's apparent that we're obnoxious.

Current phrase I don't like -- "You can't take any holiday time until your boss returns from maternity leave."

I hate when people type "alot" like it's one word. It bothers me a lot.

Or type "should of...could of" when it's supposed to be "should have...could have".

i hate it in reviews that if a writer is lazy, they call every woman who's a singer a "chanteuse" or a "torch-singer."

anything with the suffix -gate. every time there's a scandal or something bad happens, it's "rathergate" (or "memogate) or "janet's boob-gate." terrible.

edit: i guess these don't fulfill the requirement of "no particular reason." for one that really is for no particular reason, i'll go with "pizzazz."

"...and what not."

Evidently an exec at a place where I once worked used the phrase "smoking mirrors" in a rah rah speech once. It went something like "we are going to use smoking mirrors to keep the competition guessing." I unfortunately missed that gem. I don't think that is common though. It takes a special idiot.

I refuse to speak to anyone who employs the term "dawg." Or "shout-out." Or "holla."
