Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Oops!"Oops" is fine among friends - for example if someone spills their drink. It is NOT fine when used by an increasing number of Internet sites to indicate an error of one kind or another. I think it's the patronising nature of it, more than anything else, that really bugs me. For example:
Oops! You entered the wrong password
Oops! The page you want doesn't exist
The worst though is on the BT Yahoo home page:
Oops! You haven't selected any teams or sports (on the scoreboard).
That's because I don't WANT any teams or sports so I haven't made a mistake and neither have they, so what's with the patronising, faux-matey shit?
Perhaps I ought to get out more, if things like this annoy me.
