Default Re: Modern adjectives you hate

Yeah verbing bugs me too. It almost always seems cheesy or somehow grates on the ear.

I've heard the scrapbooking one before, and that one always struck me as stupid too.

Business in the 80's and 90's was coining cheesy new words at a really quick clip, and it became popular to apply them outside the business world. They did lots of grotesque verbing there.
