Gee Golly Jeepers!

My god, I hate the word (or phrase) "awesomesauce". Seriously, it's just ridiculous. Who thought it would be smart to just bung two unrelated words together as some sort of quirky mutant that was then used to describe everything and anything remotely decent.

Come to think of it, I dislike a lot of stupid speech things that now seem to be prevalent in normal conversation (some which I myself am guilty of, to my disgust). For example:

Any lolcat phrases or deliberately shuffled sentences: "I can haz cheezberger?"

Adding an 's' on random words (I am desperately trying to cut down on this): "Send me the musiks please!"

Adding 'ness' on the end of complimentary words: "awesomeness", "coolness"...

There are probably others I can't think of, and I'm by no means the victim in this: I'm ashamed to say that I often do the latter two Conversation Crimes. But I'd like to think that that's because I'm inundated by it, so it merely rubs off on me. Like the goosefat Andy lathers himself with.

Still, it's bloody annoying.
