I have no patience for anyone, but I've lots of time for you

There will be some proper content shortly. Maybe.

However... in the interim...

I don't mind people making up words. I do it all the time, after all. But there are some neologisms which just make my skin crawl.

I was reminded of this at lunchtime when a colleague included the word "chillaxin'" in a sentence[*]; it's possibly my least-favourite word from the last few years.

Any advance on chillaxing in the horribleness stakes? Has to be a word with at least some level of usage, not something one of your mates said once.

[*] Admittedly, I suspect he did this chiefly because he thought it would make my skin crawl.

"totes" and "amazo" and variant "amazeballs". Though I am about immune to these now as one of my coworkers uses them regularly.

Oh and *spit* "frenemy".

Oh, y'know, I can almost like frenemy. Not that I've ever heard a real person actually say it.

'Immune!' says this parasitologist.

Correctly pronounced as "taytes amayzebells" in my head.
