Annoying Words, Expressions

In my opinion, there are tons ... but here are just a few that stick out and come to mind first ...

"Noob", a variation of "Newbie" - in fact, both words are dumb ... used to ridicule someone of inexperience in one thing or another ... I hear kids use this and I also see it on the 'net as well ... I guess when intelligence is lost from generation to generation, language is unfortunately a casualty ... Call me a hypocrite, because I use slang all the time, but I'm sure people could've come up with better words than "Noob" and "Newbie" ...

"Pre-Drink" - perhaps the dumbest invented word, used to describe drinking before heading out for a club/bar/lounge for the evening, so that you already go with an inital buzz and to save some money from the ridiculous bar prices ... as for it's application, "yo, we're going to meet up at ______ place first for a pre-drink" ... first of all it sounds stupid ... second of all, the prefix "pre" means/implies before ... thus, the word "pre-drink" literally means before drink ... but that's stupid because you're not "pre" drinking, you're already drinking ... It's a stupid word, I hear my cousins use it all the time and it's annoying ... When I hear someone use it, it's like someone trying to be cool by using it, at the same time I think, couldn't you come up with a better word ...

"It is, what it is" - now this is dumb ... used when a situation arises, where there seems to be no control over it ... My problem with it is, what "is"? ... it also pre-supposes what "is" ... it transforms "is" into an implied or supposedly understood entity ... I used to hear this one a lot in my corporate office days ...

now my "all-time fave" ... "aww, for Pete's sakes" ... LOL ... who the f*ck is Pete? ... nuff said ...

I'm sure there are more words and expressions, but none come to mind right now, however, I plan to compile a list ...
