Default Re: Modern adjectives you hate

I like when nouns are turned into verbs. I think it was in calvin and hobbes, calvin points out the "verbing" of nouns.

I like "friending", which is used by a lot of dumbasses on My Space and Friendset, "dude, I friended you on myspace"

I really hate this too. Rarely heard, but always annoying is when scrapbook is used as a verb..."I've been scrapbooking" Uhhhh...

There's some college (I've never even heard of it) that puts together a list of banished words and phrases. Most of the stuff mentioned here ends up on there eventually. Here's the 2005 list: http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php
It's a little off topic, but funny and entertaining.
