Worse Than “Veepstakes”

I just bumped into a phrase that I never, ever want to hear ever again:

Kindle Webinar.”

Gross!

Two other words you might consider:

I nominate "meme" for an annoying word.

I thought those things were dead.

Please, someone, put them out of their misery, along with Windows Vista!

I feel like I have The Webinar Talk with somebody almost weekly, but...

The lowercase "webinar," as a generic term for an online presentation, is a fucking irritating word. I'll give you that. However, it's not a generic term: there is a software product called Webinar, which is actually a godsend of a good product for those of us with jobs that require a lot of online troubleshooting/demonstrations. It has an unfortunate name, the sort that I put in the same category as rockumentary, staycation, and fauxhawk, but I adore Webinar as a product.

uh-oh i feel an snl "the year in spade" moment coming up here. but for that matter i agree w/ all comments and wish to add:
"just sayin"
and
"rock star" in reference to both non musicians like politicians and to musicians themselves.

"First Dude." New to the scene, but I've had enough of it already.

How about a team name I heard at Dante's last night: VPILF.com? "It's real, we swear." Sure...

God, that smarmy little marketing shit is advocating scraping the names of everyone who has a kindle and spamming them. Motherfucker should be shot in his bed.
