I use the word "lobotomized" a lot, e.g. "WinCE is a lobotomized implementation of Win32" or "the Celeron is a lobotomized version of the Pentium 3." I often wonder, especially as the years pass, how many people actually have any idea what this means. And oftentimes I wonder what kind of antisocial behavior WinCE, the Celeron, etc. engaged in to deserve a lobotomy!
I couldn't hear that without thinking about Dora the Explorer. "He will be a Boots" LOL ... i.e. an animated character incapable of speech outside a few words of broken Spanish?
That's one of my favorites. It's still silly and uncommon enough that it doesn't make me angry so much as it makes me bemused... I mean, you really have to be an e-Fanboy power-user of Wannabe 2.0 to say "Webinar." Sometimes I use it for humorous effect, e.g. Enterprisey Architecty Type: "Have you played with Expression Blend yet? Dude, it's totally sick!" Me: "Yeah, bro, we should totally e-learn some of that. Maybe we could have a webinar..." Enterprisey Architecty Type: "Totally! I'll run your webinar idea up the flagpole and see who salutes."
"Get those mother-f***ing bugs off my mother-f***ing screen." Needs to be said in the best Samuel L voice.

Overused? Just because a Web Solutions Architect[^]opens a VS solution to engineer an enterprise-level solution after reading a solution to their leading query on the Interweb ... oh. Nevermind. :laugh:
Yup. See my reply to the XCon[^] post below.

Well, in my experience, "Experience" is not used so much... :rolleyes: so I cannot consider it a buzzword, anyway now I should stop writing here and return my Ms Office XP (eXtra Power) running my Windows eXtra Power computer. :-D

Wow. You translated it. I didn't realise that Babel Fish had a gibberish to English translator. What language do they speak in Gibberania anyway?
