Slang you hate

not bad...methinks isn't slang but is a word that I despise.

 

Do the young people still use "Keep on truckin'"?

 

I've never heard anyone use that but middle-aged people.

 

The radio traffic reports here say such things as, "We have an accident working on I-10 eastbound near Seigen."

I can respect an accident working. It's those lazy-ass accidents that loaf on the job that irritate me.

 

Middle-aged people stopped using that 25 years ago. I was making a joke.

 

I can't stand, "The Tom Bradys and Peyton Mannings will make this a great game."
What's wrong with just specifying that it is a particular Tom Brady or Peyton Manning we're talking about?

 

I hate the usage of "love" as in "their giving the Cavaliers some love" or "the Cavaliers are getting some love."

Look: I couldn't care less what they do in bed.

 

To conversate ...

When did that become a verb?

 

Raising my hand to second that emotion. Yuck.

Of course, I bristle at "commentate," so what do I know?

 

After watching ten minutes of ESPN's college football coverage last weekend:

"trickeration"

 

"Whooop."

Thanks a lot, Berman.
