I have also fallen prey to "oh snap". I never thought I would, but it got me. A phrase that I haven't begun to use that I keep hearing is "at the end of the day". Talking heads on cable news are especially guilty of this one. At the end of the day, it makes them sound like idiots.

Functionality

Is this work-related? I find myself slipping into work-talk in off hours and kind of feel like gouging my eyes out.

I find myself saying "monetize" in bizarre situations. I'm guilty of oh snap as well but only ironically (usually at work).

As for tranny, it's like the n-word: you're not allowed to say it, only they are.

And if I hear "at the end of the day" one more freakin' time, my head will asplode.

I started teaching at the high school level this year and it has altered my vocabulary forever.

Out- cuss words!

In- ridiculous teenage slang! Things I haven't started using in my own vocabulary but that deserve honorable mention are "beast mode," "waterfalling" as in taking a drink from someone without letting the rim touch your mouth, and "sauced." The phrase that must obviously pay lately for me is "wicked cool." I know. I know. What a descriptive phrase to use when critiquing student artwork.

I'm guilty of a few, most of them to foul to print here, but the stupidest one that has for some reason been springing to my lips (usually in response to a whine from my kids) "tough titty said the kitty". Snap, where the he** did THAT come from?
