      Neither of them is as bad as "irregardless", but that's like saying syphilis isn't as bad as crotch rot.

        penultimate or vapid. Those two words have crept into pseudo-intellectual internet talk and are used to the point they have become meaningless.

        Thankfully, 'thrade' is only used by one person.

          Some schmuck on wikipedia spends all of his time looking for articles on portmanteaus and inserting "this word is a portmanteau" into the article along with a link to the portmanteau article. Within five minutes of learning the word "portmanteau" I hated it.

          I think the same guy looks for articles in which to insert a link to "eponymous."

            The word I hate the most on Wikipedia is "defenestrate" and its variants.

              I've always enjoyed defenestrate. It's just such an awfully specific word for a very specific method of killing someone.

                Likewise. It's such an unusual way to die that I'd definitely prefer to go that way (assuming I die from impacting with the ground and not from bleeding to death from a thousand tiny cuts). "Hey remember loinburger?" "No, should I?" "He was the dude who got defenestrated!" "Oh yeah! That was awesome!"

                  Defenestrate is an awesome word. Not quite as awesome as parthenogenesis, but nothing is as awesome as parthenogenesis.

                    As a law student, I'd like to see the words "substantial," "reasonable," and "undue" permanently deleted from the English language.

                    (Yes, I know that would hurt my chances at employment, and yes, it'd be worth it.)
                    Unbelievable!

                      Well lawyers' fees are unduly substantial, and completely unreasonable, so I'll agree with that.
