words people use that make you realize they are a douchebag

[SoulDischarge]

NOBAMA

[weeklymix]

Can, when referring to toilet.

[lilee]

"I'm gonna make ________ my bitch" when talking about Vegas or somewhere as if a crazy destination can't handle one more drunken slut/bro for any amount of time.

haha, second this.

maybe this makes you more of an idiot than a douchebag [pretty much the same thing though, right?] but throwing 'literally' around for exaggeration purposes. it like, literally, drives me nuts.

[heart cooks brain]

[lilee]

haha, yes!

[captncrzy]

"drop" or "dropped". Just fucking stop.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Seriously, just drop it already.

[jgafs]

Chillax or chillaxing

"douchebag"

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Thanks for pointing out things that make you consider people douchebags, "Mike Litoris."

"douchebag"

be careful. douche[insert clever word other than "bag"] is ridiculous. However you have to admire the simplicity, utility, elegance, and timelessness of douchebag.

rejecting that make you look kind of like a you-know-what

[Mr. Fuzz]

off the chain

I say that all the time.

But I hate the following phrases/words:
"like I said"
"I know"
"hunny"

[RageAgainstTheAoki]

Sorry for the multi-quote...

sexy is completely inappropriate for work.

Really depends upon the industry. I probably hear this once or twice a week at work. If it were used constantly, then, yes, that would be ridiculous.

I was working on a huge project for a couple weeks recently, and a piece of feedback i kept getting was, "you need make it pop!," "this should pop more," "We need more pop," "that's pretty good, but let's REALLY make it pop!"

I uhh... I've been guilty of this one. Occasionally. I project manage a creative development team. They tell me I do good job with my creative briefs and with ongoing feedback -- always try to be as specific as possible. Sometimes you know that something's not working, but because you're not the designer, you can't always diagnose the exact reason. In my defense, on the rare occasion that I do use that term, I say it in reference to a very specific element not the overall design. Like "The headline should be bolder and more dramatic, but it's being overshadowed by the body copy, it should pop more."

Michael, I would think the word you should object to is "Brochella", not "weird". That being said, "weird" is one of mine. But not in the context you provided. "Weird" is great when used in a positive way like "Keep Austin Weird", but I can't stand it when people use the word to demean or dismiss something they're incapable of appreciating. Like "Ew, Pakistani food is weird" or "[film], [band], [work of art] is weird."

GRUB

/thread

[TallGuyCM]

As in, "oh man I'm so drunk right now, I'm gonna grub so hard on a burrito when I get home."

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I don't know, "grub" as a noun seems so commonplace though. "I'm hungry, let's get some grub!"

I don't think i say that myself, but it never bothers me.

I know it's very widely used, and in the instances you've used it here, most creatives are going to know what you mean, especially that specific examples wherein it's meant pretty literally. A lot of times I hear it it's basically interchangeable with "push it." Both get really overused with frustrating effects in contexts where they really mean nothing though. have the time I'm asked to make something "pop" in an audio mix by a writer, I'll just tinker around for a few minutes and play back the same, unaltered piece and get approval. So often art director and exec creatives really just want to feel as if they've had some kind of input, and don't really even give a shit about the results.

Noun, verb, adjective, whatever. They're all atrocious.

[Hannahrain]

What if you're eating grubs and not willing to share? What else do you call a grub-grubbing grub grubber?

[lehorne]

"goood" or "gooood". Or "cooool". What are you singing? Anything with unnecessary, extra "O's".
