Ok, I have to admit to a bit of pedantry, because I just saw this and had to put it here, since it irks me when people (like my dear, dear cousin) say this word like this:


BadBeast

Anything that's had  "Neo" slapped  in front of,it  (Including "Anderson", sorry Keanu)
Prophylactic,  Shizzle, (my bizzle) whatever, Brah, Nigger, Taleban, insurgent, Peacekeeper, Democracy, Stabilise, engage, Smack, ass, (It's Arse!)  Electorate, Capital, Extradite, Re-convene.

appending "INO" to something to make an acronymous label that indicates "X in name only".

Seriously can you BE more banal?

Here's my new least favorite word:

OFFICLE

in October, our office is being redesigned. Everybody's cubicle is being replaced by an officle. What the fuck is that, you ask? IT'S NOT A CUBICLE, IT'S NOT AN OFFICE! Actually, it IS a cubicle but there's a sliding shower door, and little plastic windows so you can get a nice view of the hall.

"OFFICLE". say it out loud, it'll stick in your throat.  And if anybody hears you say it, they'll smack you upside the head.


LMNO

Wow.  I didn't know that word existed.


Now I want to cockslap whoever invented it.

Yeah, using any other those implies the person you are addressing has no grasp of the reality of the word you chose.

It is my understanding that the cubicle office setup was a reaction to the open office layout causing a 'peripheral vision startle reflex psychosis'.  If i recall correctly it was found that when you have people staring at something on their desk for long periods of time it causes a problem, in that, when one normally catches movement out of the corner of their eye, they have a reflex to look at it.  in the open office layout you continuously look at something (your desk) while ignoring a bunch of movement in your peripheral vision.  this extended repression of a natural reflex was said to be the cause of 'psychotic-like' behavior.  so they put up cubicle walls to prevent this...
probably bullshit, but i like it anyways....
