I am so sick of entitlement

Oh! Oh! I know this one! I have read World War Z about three times now so I know what it means. Literally, it means "removal of tenth." So, like, if a military was stricken by mutinies, a "decimation" would mean that they would kill one-in-every-ten soldiers.Hydro14 said:
Business spiel like 'actionable', 'deliverables' 'actioning' and other poor, mutated words of that ilk. What does 'actionable' even mean? Can't you just say 'useful'?
You misunderstand. I'm talking about something like this:zelda2fanboy said:
"The sky is red."
"No, it's blue."
"Really."
"Yup. SUNSETS are red"
"Oh... Just kidding!"
Ya know, when somebody is wrong (even when it's much more minor than 'the sky is red') and instead of saying 'ok i was wrong', 'my mistake', or 'sorry' they say 'just kidding' which is supposed to be used when you say something like that on purpose.
On the Pronunciation side i'm going with how a lot Americans say Eye'raq and Eye'ran instead of how it should be said. Go take a look at Iraq on Wikipedia, listen to the pronunciation, listen to how Sayid says it in Lost, learn fuckers.
Now for the overused words i'll take Epic Fail like nearly everybody else. Or any word uttered by a Liverpudlian.

Keepin' it real, just doin' ma' own thang, and homeboy are three terms and phrases that I despise. I will also include the word strong. I mean when it is used to describe someone, but not physically. Like when someone has gone through a tragedy and someone can't really think of anything to say to them and so they just say, "You are so strong to be able to keep on living after what happened to you".
And it's funny cause Heterophobia isnt a word! Come on I've seen people down right terrified of straight people!blaqknoise said:

Oh an ad hominem. Don't ever dare to actually address your opponent or they'll just debunk your entire argument with "nice ad hominem bro."
"Wow you're an idiot" - not ad hominem
"Your entire argument is wrong because you're an idiot" - ad hominem.
Edit: Oh, and 'Fursecution'. Look, I hate furries as much as any other sick fetish, even more so when they try to stick it down our throats as a 'lifestyle'. That isn't persecution, that's called disliking something, IT'S OK TO NOT LIKE THINGS. I wouldn't allow someone in a fursuit to enter my house/come to my D&D nights/near my young cousins/near any of my animals. That isn't persecution, I'd act the same way if you came to my house in a gimp suit with a ball in your mouth.
Edit2: 2 more. "I could care less", Oh, so you actually care then?
"'erbal tea", I accidentally a whole letter.
Personally, I just hate the lack of a simple term meaning "Discrimination based upon sexual orientation". I mean, we have racism, but homosexuals aren't really a 'race', we have sexism, but it is a sexual orientation, not a sex, homoism would just be weird and homosexualism is just a large and clunky sounding word, and it would never catch on because everyone is already using homophobe.blaqknoise said:
I do like the word bigot, but it seems to broad.
OT: I hate it when people claim to be pure agnostic. It makes me frustrated. I'd find that rather appropriate xkcd but I have to leave soon.
'Lazer' really gets to me.
The word stands for 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation' so unless you're going to start using 'ztimulated', it's spelled laser.

That's because the United States have it spelled "Aluminum". We like to dumb down things.Zantos said:Aluminium. What is the problem with the five syllables? Honestly
Masticate-I like it when my friends think I said something else
