    Oh, and don´t forget about "Whazzuuuuuuuup?". Even in non-English speaking countries that term has been abused by 13 year olds until people get the urge to kill upon hearing it another time...

      I know what blasé means. Every instance in that definition refers to a person or a person's attitude, rather than a phrase. How can a phrase be indifferent?
      ah, then yes, I meant passé... yet I still hate the word blasé

          Yeah, that's another good phrase there MtG. What kind of Neanderthalic subculture resolves disputes with a call to violence which breaks more grammatical rules than there are words in the sentence?

              This one is local -- only Imran will understand -- but the Pittsburgh version of "y'all" is "yinz." As in, "Where yinz goin'?" Makes my flesh crawl.

              On the plus side, even Pittsburghers refer to dumbass locals as "yinzers."

                  Non-synergistic teams can remain congruent and still grow productivity by interfacing cogently.

                    "of" when used instead of "have". Sounds like a dweeb is saying it.

                      It's you'ns, an archaic abbreviation of "you ones," one being the proper gender-neutral pronoun.
