Recently I was in a .NET class where the instructor, who is from California, must have said "groovy" 100 times during a virtual class. I thought that went out in the 60s? This guy was 30 something. Are you telling me people from that state are still stuck in the 60s?

I try to say it only once per conversation rather than 100 times, but I like 'groovy' a lot.

I agree. I like saying it, but I don't force it into a conversation. Sparingly used, I think it's a groovy word

 

[Leroy Hoard]

manning up.

Unless one just got sacked or injured.

 

[Parrothead]

Using a letter to describe a word. The N word, the R word, if you a female the C word.

I'm on a mission to bring back "cat" from the 70's I try and use once a day around the office to unsuspecting co-workers.

ESB; Hey boss, you got a phone number for Bill?

Boss : Bill who?

ESB; You know, Bill. That cat that works for M&M.

Boss: Oh yea, Bill. I email it over to ya.

[Frostillicus]

The term "smoke show", referring to an attractive woman, should be shot, killed, hung, shot again, and then buried 30 feet into the ground.

I'm ok with smoke show.

 

[Frostillicus]

Ok when talking to kids. I hope to god nobody uses this in adult conversation.

What if she's got a great cutter?

This is not funny. Terrrible.

 

[Frostillicus]

Adding the word tho' to everything. It's confusing do you like it or not.

Examples:

Them yoga pants tho.

Does she look good or bad in them? Depends how it's said. Normally you can tell.

Dat ### tho'

This is acceptable in small doses.

I'm sure it's been mentioned: 'It is what it is.'

"Price point".

This phrase is completely unnecessary. The word "price" is sufficient. What's the difference between saying "I think we should sell these shoes at a lower price point" vs "I think we should sell these shoes at a lower price". No difference at all, other than one of them sounds really douchey. Stop saying price point.

this one implies a profit optimization to me. More than picking an arbitrary price that works, it's picking the peak point at the profit curve that fits the criteria being referenced... I'm sure it's misused, though.

Agree with this ruling. The objection should be with a phrase where it's misused, not the term on its own.

Same as saying "my brain has given up"

They need to be run off a cliff like lemmings.

These "7 favorite" threads.

Thrown off a cliff would be more appropriate, because running off implies that they know they're stupid. Also, lemmings apparently don't do that. The Disney film made about them actually launched them off a cliff, but several do die during migration times. It's not a mass suicide at all, though.
