On the other hand, I suppose if I heard all of the above used in this phrase, "The incurable virus that attacks only progressives has so far wiped out every single liberal and registered democrat in the country, including democratic party leaders Obama, Clinton and Kerry", it wouldn't make me cringe.

They now like to claim "safety" in their "sensible gun control" like they're the counter to the evil gun selling NRA, when we all know of course, one of the founding principles of the NRA was to promote firearms safety.

There are a couple that come out of my nameless mega-corp that drive me up the wall.
'Asks' & 'Solves' became super popular with our executive management a year or so back, and gradually started creeping down to operational management. Every time I hear someone say "What is the ask on that?", I want to punch that person in the face.
-
Also, any time something from silicon valley creeps into the administrative side of our 18th Century based industry. I had lunch with a manager from one of our call centers the other day, and he told me he was on a 'gamification committee'. I asked if he really understood gamification, and he said "yeah, I've studied it for a few months, and I feel I have a strong working knowledge of it". I told him that was funny, because neither I nor anyone else I know in our operational, technical, or research sides had a strong working knowledge of game theory, and that if we felt we needed it, we'd probably just hire out. His working knowledge of game theory also happened to not be of the hard mathematical sort, but of the 'Millenials love games, so let's make their work like a game so they will show up more' sort.
These types of word usage make my rage meter go to eleven.

"Methodologies" just grinds my gears when I hear it. I once asked "What's the difference between methods and methodologies?" and got the dumbest deer in the headlights look back.
Don't like when business people use chemical/chemistry/scientific terms such as:
Transparent/opaque
Catalyst
Etc
Hi, I just moved here from California.
"random" or "That's so random..." because those who use it most often seem to have no clue at all what "random" means.
"literally", for the same reason. Most annoying when someone says "It's like, literally, like..." Nah. Two different things: literally and like. Different.
"same difference" OK then just don't say anything at all, because "same difference" means nothing, null, nada, cancels itself out.
"guesstimate" Who put a "g" on estimate and why did we allow it to continue??! The word is estimate.
"incredible", when used improperly, as credit can usually be established and given for most things. "Oh wow, this book is incredible!!" Yeah, big ups to the author on that one... totally incredible, right?
"It is what it is." Oh yeah, no shit, huh? Genius.
Also every establishment that consciously chooses to spell their own name incorrectly, but what in THE fuck on all the childcare establishments and children's retail shops out there who spell their name "Kidz Korner" or "ABC Baybeez" or "Little Starz"? Really? So maybe "Kid's Corner" was already taken when you started your company... sweet, let's move on and get creative, oh shapers of young minds and teachers of pheonetics... pick something else. Don't settle for "z". It looks stupid, it's incorrect, and it's certainly not helping anyone read, write, or communicate better.
When people use "and" in place of "an."

You guys have listed some good ones.
One word that REALLY bugs me is the way most people use the term "Gitmo". I first became associated with that term by guys who had been stationed there. That was hardship duty. Those guys had paid their dues. It was a term reserved only for them. If you talked to them you made damn sure you knew where Guantanamo Bay was and educated yourself (at least a little) about the history. Todays "journalists" do the public a disservice by using that term instead of naming a place that can be found on a map.
Here in a few months or so you will be hearing " polar vortex".
It's a damn snow storm. That is what happens in the wintertime !!!

"An historic..."
Anyone who says this is trying to sound intelligent but is actually making themselves look like a dumb ass. It's "a historic" moment, icon, event, etc. Do we say "an human", "an helicopter", "an hobo" or "an headshot"? No.
"That's why it's called hunting and not killing".

"first responder"

You prefer "second responder"? Or third maybe?
Nah, just call them police, firemen, or EMTs, or emergency responders if you want to lump them all together.
Looked it up, there really is a definition for "second responder."
Just made-up nonsense terms that reek of PC to me personally.
I suppose it depends on the context. I mean if an officer is the first one on scene at any given incident isn't he technically the first responder?
I will agree with you that using that term generically just to refer to any emergency responder is silly. They can't all be the first one to arrive on scene.
Lol. I just googled "second responder". I had no idea that was really a thing.
I guess maybe I'm a "twenty-first responder". That means I show up on scene days later once the incident is well over and likely have no clue anything even happened. Unless any of the twenty responders before me left me a note.
I've always favored an "active responder."

An historic is an odd one. Yes, No. Yes? We use the phrase "an honor" because we pronounce it "an onor". But, in english before the modern accent and speech patterns we have it would have been "an istoric" as the pronunciation.
Translation - yes it is still proper English. But barely. And if you do it you should say "an istoric" instead of "an hisstoric"

We know colors. they don't have to be described as a color. nobody will be confused that your corvette is somehow sad or depressed.
"Well, I just thought..." Usually trying to do something the easy way.
early model / late model car
It's either older or newer model.
My late grandfather is dead and buried.
But, my late model car is only a year old.
Anything involving "Hillary Clinton" makes me cringe.
"Mansplaining" sends me into a homicidal rage.

The act, or the term?
Term. What a disrespectful, dismissive, and bullshit way to 'continue discussing.' I hate most of these feminazi ways of completely discounting a guy's point of view; rather than arguing/discussing each point comprehensively, they attempt to wave away everything they don;t agree with by 'removing' the source through this ridiculous term.
Don't get me wrong- there are guys out there that still dismiss a woman's point of view, her contribution to the conversation or event, and her ideas, simply because she is female. It is enraging. I see no purpose in doing it to men. This 'tit for tat' trend among sniffy little liberals is going to get someone throat punched someday.
I had someone tell me on Facebook that I was 'mansplaining' because they didn't agree with my point of view.
Grrr. Now I'm mad all over again.

"Let go"
Our GM was shit-canned the other day and walked out. He was "let go" according the higher ups emails. No, he was "fired". "Let go" means he was trying to leave and you finally let him. Corporate weenies.

Also, by looking at this list, I am a seriously annoying mother fucker :) now I know.
When someone says "acrost" instead of "across".
Bringing this back up because I have some firearm related acronyms that irk me.
FTE and FTF.
I especially hate these when details about the condition are left out.
FTE. So, are you having failures to extract or eject?
FTF. This doesn't bother me as much because I just assume the person means "failure to feed". But who knows. Maybe he is having a failure to fire?
Yeah, FTF needs to be specified.
I was looking for this thread the other day and couldn't find it, so thanks for bringing it back.
"Centrifugal Force" bothers me, as it does not exist. I didn't take a lot of physics in high school, but this is one of the things that I retained.

Gravity bothers me. Seems like the older I get the more I can feel it's effect.

I dislike improper use of the contraction of it is (it's) vs the possessive (its). Makes me feel like my head is getting flung acrost the room with a bunch of centrifugal force.

Someone paying their "fair share". The utter idiocy is the progs who say that all the time will never define what it means. Of course, if you can't define it how would you even know if someone isn't paying their f.s.?
Fair share is defined as whatever lessens their load to little or nothing.

In 1st grade in the early '70s, we had to give a report of what we did over the summer break. One student repeatedly used "you know" and the teacher kept responding"No, we don't know. Why don't you tell us."
We had to learn early on to effectively communicate. I guess there's no room for that in school curriculums these days with all of the social engineering lessons.

Woke
A state of perceived intellectual superiority one gains by reading The Huffington Post.
Ali is so woke. At brunch she explained how wearing anything other than Chuck Taylor's or Tom's is really a microaggression. Hey did you get your Amy Schumer tickets yet?

The day a progressive realizes that everything they accuse the right of is actually what they are guilty of.

When you're with you wife 44 years get back with me. Until i call her the ex we're gtg
^^^^Old Lady?....
My wife's been my ol lady since our 3rd date
Wife, ol lady, spouse, who cares what one in a relationship calls the other.
I understand some peoples dislike for referring to their spouse as X. But in the greater scheme of things If it's the worst thing you hear a spouse called it's a good day.
ETA: Sorry guys, been a rough day and vented in a light hearted thread. My Bad.
Now where's that Whambulance

Get back to you about what? Call your wife whatever you want. I responded to the OP with what I thought. I can't answer for anyone else. I wasn't addressing the "greater scheme" of anything and I certainly wasn't giving marital advice. It's just a single phrase that I think sometimes sounds disrespectful.
I've been with my wife for over 30yrs. I don't need to wait another 14yrs to know what works for us.

Yes, I know why they say they do it, but it just doesn't look correct to me.

I understand this but I'm the opposite. My company made some sweatshirts recently and the flag on the right shoulder did not have the star field facing forward and it drove me nuts.
Do you feel the same way when you see a flag flying "backward" on a pole? We're so used to seeing it one direction but really, either way is correct depending on the position of the observer.
