"Too big to fail." Please make that phrase go away!
I remember a B.C. comic where a dad compliments his son on his backpack, saying "It's so normcore." His son says "You use normcore? Well that's one word I'll never use again." After his son walks away the dad says to the mother "The experiment was a success. What other words do you never want to hear again?"

Two new words that the media now uses that I can't stand are: 'vetted' and 'tapped'. 
'vetted' means that someone's background was thoroughly reviewed (like for a national security job).
'tapped' is when someone's been contacted and asked to be a candidate for particular position.
They sound innocent enough but....
The reason I can't stand these new words is because their root words 'vet' and 'tap' have completely different meanings...
The word 'vet' is supposed to bring to mind honor, sacrifice, heroism. Now it means a background check.
The word 'tap' is a popular secular slang word for "the act of making a baby" and so when I hear in the news that someone was 'tapped' for a political position... O_O
I think its interesting to note that this word 'tapped' first became widely used by media when Sarah Palin was asked to be the vice presidential nominee by John McCain.

Any of these new words that reference homosexuality- gay (which used to mean happy), life partner, even Ellen, etc. I think it's the most discussing evil ever. I also cringe hearing a man's voice trying to sound feminine, or a man dressing like a woman. It all makes me cringe so bad I have to walk away, or turn the channel, or go to my happy place. Seriously, anyone who spends time in my home knows it really effects me that bad.

Now you know.

This is extremely petty, I understand. But I get a tad annoyed if I'm watching the news or listening to an interview and someone says, for example, "It was a great experience for him & I." That is incorrect grammar usage. It's supposed to be: "It was a great experience for him & ME", not I. It's especially irritating when it's a celebrity who is putting on airs.
I told you it was petty. LOL
