And I'm a bit on the fence with "meh". Definitely don't like AFK when used to say one was not paying attention ( As in," Sorry dude could you repeat that I was temporarily AFK")
Tell them you don't speak "gamer", you're not 12 and don't know what AFK is.
Then they look at you in shock and you can tell them, "You've been PWNED!"

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
A corporate-jargon non-word meaning "motivate," coined in 1968. Some 10 years later, it was shortened to the equally annoying verb "incent." Unfortunately, both are recognized by both Merriam-Webster and the OED.
(I'm thinking of Ryan Lochte but, this is for ALL the liars out there.) You lied. Stop calling it a mistake. You intended to deceive therefore it is obviously NOT a mistake. And, everybody knows YOU'RE STILL LYING when you try to sugar-coat your lie by calling it a mistake.
Who, when, and why did they change the pronunciation of harassment? I learned it as something like huh-RASS-mint with the emphasis on the second syllable. (sorry for the crude phonetic descriptions) but now it seems a lot of people say harris-mint with the emphasis on the first syllable.
OK, now I've done some googling. So, Harris-mint is apparently the British pronunciation. But plenty of Americans have adopted the British pronunciation. Why? I wonder if those same dummies say hell-ee-copter instead of the good ol american hella-copter.

When I was in nursing school we got to the portion on birthing babies, etc., and all of a sudden the centimeters (Cent-i-meeters) we'd all known in other classes, became Sont-a-meters in lecture. I was confused. I wasn't sure if we were discussing some new measurement, or what?.. Sonometers? Some Sonic method of measurement?
Then, it dawned on me. LeMaze birthing classes I'd taken years before. The French! Sometime, somewhere, Americans picked up a lot of lessons on birthing babies from the French researchers, and someone repeated the French pronunciation to other medical people, and this became the accepted way among those "in the know", y'know?
People are funny.

I remember childbirth classes before my son's birth. The lady kept saying sonometers. I just thought she was weird.

British Telly shows have invaded our (?) language, again. British actors and shows are the best there are, (no politics) and I have been watching them almost exclusively for years. (My one problem is they talk funny and even the subtitles will come back with an unintelligible all too frequently. Also, at least half the British population are cops of some sort.)
And "stunning" is being so overused I would not care if I never heard it again.

Twenty four years later, me and the wife still make fun of the woman who was doing the class for saying it that way.

then there is "al-yoo-min-ee-um". Blame the BBC. Canadians say "pro-cess".
Athleticism. The only sport I watch is hockey, and most of the time the commentary is muted because I can't stand the over excited drivel by the "color" guy. The professional athletes are paid a disgusting amount of $ to do three things. Play the game, stay in shape, and pass a drug test. The "What athleticism!" comment infuriates me. The NFL is the second biggest waste of time and money on this planet, the NBA is the first.
Rant over....for now.
No...not yet. One of the TVs at work had professional cornhole recently. Now I have seen everything!

“Just Saying” after someone says something controversial. It’s like they want credit for saying it if it’s accepted but not be responsible if someone finds it offensive.

Hahaha that's my favorite!!! It's my disclaimer, meaning that's my feeling in the moment don't really care if you agree or disagree it's not going to make a difference. Just pour a stiff drink if you ever read my post 🤣

Mine is using the word literally when you don't mean it. You didn't "literally cry for a week", shut up. It makes me very angry, it does not make me "literally pull my hair out."

The only respectable form of the word is the noun "incentive."
