Like John Tucker, the following words and phrases should be removed from your vocabulary because they're ugly, archaic, irrelevant or completely made up shit:
1. Soap Opera: This word came about through US pharmaceutical P&G's sponsorship of radio shows in the Thirties. Since it's now the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Six, this term is now redundant and so shows like One Tree Hill are dramas, not soaps.
2. Impactful: Sorry, Dilbert; this word doesn't actually exist. It was made up by virgins.
3. Data Capture: What the fuck is this? What do you mean? Are you talking about data collection? Are you talking about recording data? Or do you just want to speak like a cyborg? Tzzzt...zzttt...Shut the fuck up.
4. Thrice: I don't know; it just sounds a bit Obi-Wan Kenobi to me.
5. Synergy: People who use the word 'synergy' also like to read self-help books. Self-help books are rubbish. If you want to help yourself, stop using words like 'synergy'.
6. Kudos: Come on, the word sounds so Eighties.
7. Incumbent: Another way to confuse people in the courtroom.
8. Convulsions: How about 'spasms'?
9. Fucktard: I never really got this one. Does that mean I'm a fucktard?
