Webinar - Nothing makes you sound more douchey than saying "webinar"
Shoot me an email - There are many things you shoot. An email is not one of them.
I'll grab you on that in a minute - this may be exclusive to my office/ company, but it drives me insane
Hunj- (Short for "hundred") - you sound like a douchey frat boy
Verbiage - THIS IS NOT A WORD
Fat-finger - This means to mistype. Perhaps you should just say "mistype".
Head's up - Just sounds dumb
Now tell me - what are your pet peeves?

I just heard one this morning that almost pushed me over th eline.
Ping - as in "Ping me on this next week will you?"
Is this just a fancy way of saying, I can't remember things myself so I am going to put the responsibility back onto you to do it and if I say it in a way that sounds really "techy" then you won't notice what a lazy-ass I am.
I hate "verbiage" as well. People here pronounce it both with and without the "i" - "verb-ee-ege" and "verb-ege." ARGH.
I also dislike "convo" for "conversation" and "vacay" for "vacation."
Also, when people use "architected" as a verb: "I architected this website." No, you BUILT it.
VERBIAGE. Yes. HATE.
Verbiage? WTF people.
I hate "anyways" or "supposebly".
People are ignorant.
Hunj? Seriously???
DT - YES! Ping! My co-workers don't use it, but I've heard it other places and it is awful.
Shauna - yes, I've heard "verbiage" pronounced both ways as well. Equally annoying however you pronounce it.
"Vacay" doesn't bother me, but "convo" and "architected" are both good ones.
Tess - heh. I can see that being one of your pet peeves.
Shelly - oh yes. That is a whole 'nother class of annoyances - bad spelling/ poor grammar. My hubby's stepfather always says "irregardless" and I cringe every time.
Hot - yes indeed. Hunj. Spoken in frat-boy-ese.
Holy crap! These are GOOD! I have tons of word peeves. My MIL says "excepting", as in "I don't have anything to do today EXCEPTING I have to go to the bank." Now,I know that in the technical sence it's an accepted way of using the word EXCEPT, but it just sounds so trashy. "I ain't got nothin' 'septin to rob that thar bank......" UGH.
Anyways is one of my favorites, too.
I have to admit that I use "verbiage" on occassion--without the EEEE in the middle. I've never heard some of these, which means I've lived in my little bubble for far too long.
Let's Do Lunch - say what? I just don't get that one...
Hey Hyphen and thanks! Yeah, I hate "excepting" too.
Princess - yeah, I agree. Also, Let's grab lunch. What, is it running away?
Oh lord I agree with my whole heart. There's this annoying habit with Utahns to use "ignorant" to mean "rude". They also pronounce it "ignernt" even though southern accents to not exist here.
This post is so ignernt
Parking - Agreed! "ignernt" is awful!
