    Christ, yeah. Similar deal with "pointed" and "goaled" in most Marty Morrisey or Joanne Cantwell reports.

    Centre of Excellence when talking about hospitals.

    Why can't every hospital just be really good instead of you ***** closing down and robbing services just for a few decent ones?

    Holistic, usually followed by approach.

    Comes from the idea of holism, ie talking from your hole.

    Spirituality, as in 'I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual'. **** off will you, don't be talking nonsense.

    All buzzwords are fine with me as they all serve a purpose and became fashionable cause people started using them more and more.

    I dislike people using buzzwords out of context and in the most incorrect moments/places.

    As an atheist I regard myself as spiritual most of the time. Being spiritual IMO is a state of being, which can change from moment to moment. It's about where your awareness is.

    Probably not a buzzword, but the use of "anyways" should be punishable by death.

    Are those not just feelings/emotions? As in one minute you're happy or contented, but you get bad news and now you're sad? What exactly does spirituality have to do with that?

    For what it's worth, I'm sure there are people who have studied this extensively and could give me specific and well reasoned examples of spirituality. But 99% of people who say they are 'spiritual' say it because it's a buzzword.

    "Mansplaining". Seems to be popping up all over the internet lately.

    "Good to go". Can't explain why but that one gets on my nerves. Can you not just say ready and be done with it?
