Expresso! :mad:

Although it's not a real word in the English language, so I suppose I can't use that one.

Indeed, it's not a real word. Espresso is however.

My vote:
Synergy
Dynamic
Recessionary
De facto
Also the words fail and this when used as a complete sentence, particularly in real life

Awesome - when used in it's current Americanised context.

I liked it and used it regularly when it meant 'inspires awe'. Now i don't for fear i will look and sound like an R tard.

Domino's pizza does not inspire awe. Getting off work half an hour early does not inspire awe. A sunny day does not inspire awe. None of these things are awesome, so stop saying they are.

Mine is entitlement and all it's variations. It's a word bandied about by alot of people who will never use the word responsibility. Absolutely hate the word when it comes to people who have done nothing to deserve their "entitlements"

Chillax....Makes no feckin sense, easier to just say relax and you don't end up sounding like a tool!

Most meaningless corporate catch phrases although the most annoying have to be the various euphemisms used for sacking people, "rationalisation", "restructuring" etc. We all know what they mean so just say it!
There are loads more including but not limited to "do gooder", "liberal" and "politically correct" when used as lazy terms of abuse.

Proactive

I'm gonna have to go with smegma.

That would be the reason why I hate it.

Because some people will invariably pronounce it wrong!!

Another one I've thought of since my last post is hun. What is the fùcking story with putting this word at the end of EVERY sentence lately!?!

"bint"

Nothing to do with it being sexist or anything, I just hate the sound of it and for some reason whenever I read it it comes across as having a nasty, snide tone to it.
