It’s likely that only people who work in IT networking encounter this, but I wish people would stop using the word “sunk” when they mean “synchronized.”  It sounds really ignorant.  I’ll accept “synced,” but are we really that lazy?  Has our desire to avoid burning calories finally breached the walls of the spoken word?

“I’ve got the interfaces sunk.”

Why do people say things like that?  It’s a language abortion.  I don’t even hate all corporate-speak.  Some of it is quite clever and it’s fun to be a part of a secret language that only cube-monkeys understand, but this one sounds like someone taught Cletus how to navigate IOS.

The word “supposedly” does NOT have a “b” in it.  When you say “supposably,” I picture a three-year-old learning English.  However, a three-year-old, unless his/her parents are fucks, will grow out of that phase.

Whenever I see a piece of advertising that employs the pun, I always envision a group of white folks that think they’re sooooo creative sitting in a conference room at 2AM, Chinese food cartons strewn about, everyone frustrated and ready to go home when suddenly some blowhard named Tucker exclaims, “I know, we’ll use a pun!,” which is celebrated with 20 minutes of self-congratulations and applause. Tucker is promoted to VP of Advertising.

The “creative bullpen” scene in The Hudsucker Proxy nails it.

I don’t fucking care if it’s in your dictionary, “dove,” is a kind of bird, not a past-tense verb. “Drug?” Also not a verb unless you’re talking about pharmaceuticals.
