grown ass people who talk in text message language...

Thanks for another..

"Grown ass man" or "Grown ass woman" - one of the most ghetto, ignorant phrases ever. "Im grown..." - well how about you act "grown" and learn to speak correctly, dumbass.

I hate business-speak; it's the white collar Ebonics. Anything from this page is highly annoying.

A few examples:

action item
An urgent task requiring immediate action

Also, anyone that responds to every sentence with, "Are you serious?" and then expects you to acknowledge their repeated disbelief.

This one is a butchering of a word, but I've known several people who say the word "fustrating." It embarassing to me when we're with a client and that one gets dropped because it just sounds ignorant to me.

Frustrating. Not so complex.

I had a salesman for Loctite say "diatametrically" instead of "diametrically" today. That was...interesting.
