Cloud. Though I'm not sure it qualifies as a neologism it's probably the most overused and hyped buzzword of the past year.

You can't even pronounce the damn thing, and it makes you sound like some mentally deficient 13 year old (i.e. a World of Warcraft player).

"Plix" apparently means "please". AHHH

Blogosphere.

Describing books, photos, music or movies as 'content'.

Afraid this shows my Stallmanite and Grumpy Old Man credentials.

My blood boils whenever I hear someone bandy the term "Intellectual Property". It's bad enough as a generic term for copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. But when sitting down and talking to someone is described as "sharing IP" I find myself looking for the nearest bucket.

Whenever I hear this used it takes all my self control to avoid kicking the utterers goolies up into his throat.

FFS, "portal" was a bad enough linguistic pig's ear, but whoever coined that particular bit of pompous asshattery should be burned at the stake. Then cloned. Then burned at the stake again.

U. Like they couldn't be bothered to type "you." Or UR, M8, any of these. Often found lurking in IM and IRC, people like this should have their fingers removed and be forced to type with either their noses or the other useless appendage they usually have dangling limp and floppy from their foreheads.

Can't be bothered to type properly? I really can't be bothered to read your drivel, either.

'the blogosphere'

Because the notion that any idiot with a keyboard has something worthwhile to say is an excellent argument against democracy.

Cloud, Web 2.0 and all the memes that were only funny years ago on 4chan.

"Automagically"

Don't know whether this qualifies as a net neologism or whether it's just down to sheer retardedness, but either way it winds me up big style.

A couple of people have scraped the barrel and tried to claim that automagically has a slightly different meaning to automatically, but that's bull. I have never once seen a sentence where if the word "automagically" was replaced with "automatically" the meaning would have been changed.

To me it's like people who say "skellington" instead of "skeleton" or "Westminister" instead of "Westminster".

It's not a new word or a new meaning, they just can't pronounce their fucking words properly.

Grrrr.

So I've been wondering, which Fucktard of a Twatdangle came up with "mash-ups".

A dumb-fuck conjunction which says absolutely nothing!!!

Mash up dat rass!!!

Use of text speak (except on 'phones, where there is a good reason for keeping it short)

I'm in two minds about *tard as well, but it (they) should be on the list so we get to vote.

Interweb. Was funny for about ten minutes.

...I vote for "strategy boutique".

It just makes me think of a buch of sandy-haired men in light-coloured trousers flouncing around a meeting room done out in Mary Quant decor and using words like 'evangelize', 'footprint' and 'cloud'.

Not the newest of new words, I'll grant you.

But still a fucking pointless and annoying twatology.

"Webinar" is the most hateful piece of verbal effluent ever inflicted on the English speaking peoples.

//likes "Automagically"

How the f*ck do you pronounce it anyway... I can cope with lol and may have even used it but the l33t bastards have ruined it for me :-(

To those who use...

LULZ, as if LOLS wasn't bad enough.

U, UR or any variation thereof.

ROFLCOPTER, See LULZ.

ZOMFG, See ROFLCOPTER.

The insertion of '1' or 'one' into the already unneccesary streams of exclamation marks. Not big. Not clever.

KTHXBAI, PLZTHX or any other pointless contractions.....!

Boi - Arg!

There are more, but my nose and ears are now both bleeding...

(Paris, because at least she speaks English!)

plix - I do hate that one, I see it a lot, and this from the english speakers in the game I play, yes not just spotted brain-deaden 13yr .... tards play WoW, oh which Blizzard can't even "balance" right.

l33t speak in general and pretty much any word that's a contraction of two other words, you know what I mean by that..

an ugly word for a concept almost too horrible to imagine
