If we could, like, just literally throw these words under the bus going forward...

..., that would be, like, totally epically unbelievable, dude! Seriously! Oh, sorry, my bad…

  Hello, dinguses. We’re back from our glorious holiday vacation, where we flew into one of those big, fancy east-coast airports, and then, well, that’s it. That’s all we did for a whole week, thanks to Snowmageddon 2010. But it’s okay, we had a great time at the airport, taking sink-baths in public restrooms and cuddling up with strangers at night for warmth, until they woke up and started screaming and we had to stop. Badoom-cha!
In fact, the whole thing would have been fine if not for our stupid overuse of hip catchphrases. Like “Eat my shorts,” and “Wow! That plane’s da bomb!” That’s the one that got us into trouble with the TSA, who we tried to fend off with, yup, more catchphrases. But even our ingenious combination of two of the most popular recent viral phrases -- “Don’t tase my junk, bro!” -- sadly didn’t work. And now, needless to say, we can’t have children.
     So now, as we lie here on the floor by our desk pressing a bag of frozen peas to our sparked giblets, we’re thinking that we should just stop using some of these hip catchphrases and buzzwords altogether. Here’s a few that we could probably go another 2010 years without hearing again:

Unnn-believable!  Everything is "Unnn-believable!" these days. Guy catches a fly ball in a baseball game. It's "unnn-believable!" It rains for an hour, that's "unnn-believable!" too. You get the feeling that every time these people sit on the toilet and something comes out they yell: "Unnn-believable!" Really? What DO you believe? Anything?
Amazing!  See above
Core competency  My core competency is not speaking business-speak gobbledygook, douchenozzle.
Filibuster
App  What percentage of TV commercials are for phones these days? About, oh, I don't know, a GAZILLION? Yeah, just what I need, another "app" for my phone that turns me into one of those self-absorbed zombies staggering obliviously down the street forcing yuppies with their double-wide strollers off the curb while I stare at my palm reading some guy's stupid rant about words he's sick of. See? It's a win-win! 
Win-win
Like
Literally  People are using the word literally so often that it is literally making my head a-splode. See? Now I have a huge mess all over my keyboard. Literally.
Low-hanging fruit
Livin’ the dream  My uncle was livin' the dream. Until the FBI shot him.
Throw under the bus
Going forward
Bromance, Brodak moment, Brohawk, Broseph, Bro Diddly, Bro Derek, Bro Chi Minh, basically anything with “bro” in it, OK?
Tweet, tweeple, tweeps
Wiki
Using “Friend” as a verb
Vuvuzela
Going rogue
At the end of the day
It is what it is
It’s all good
Awesome!
Epic
Fail
Seriously!
Nice
My bad 
Put on your big boy pants  I'm sorry Moosilini, but I prefer my Klondike Kat Underoos. They're much more comfortable.  
Drinking the Kool-Aid
Cowboy up
Xtreme! anything
Totally
Mad skillz
Wordz that end in z
Teachable moment  If you say this to me one more time and I punch you in the gizzard will that be a teachable moment?
Cougar
Not so much  This used to be kinda cute. Now, not so much. 
“I could care less.”  You could? Really?
Really? Do you really need to keep saying this at the end of every question? Really?
Dude  Stop calling me this, unless my name is Lebowski and you just micturated on my rug

  1. On the other hand, imagine a conversation in which these are the ONLY words used. Hmmm. I see what you mean.

  4. Ha! Your comments are funnier than the blog. Not that I care, I could care less. Seriously! It's not like being funny is my core competency or anything. At the end of the day it's all good. You're all awesome and I'm livin' the dream!
