Annoying words and phrases
Marketing 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

Yes!
I also despise the concept of 'pre-ordering', as it usually involves a branch of Waterstones or HMV plonking a shitty-looking flipchart by the entrance, daubed with a message telling us we can 'Pre-order' the forthcoming Harry Potter book/Coldplay album/Twilight DVD/other major release. What's the point of that then? It's not like there's going to be a Buzz Lightyear-style shortage, there are warehouses packed to the rafters with Robert Bloody Pattinson's latest squint-fest. Wouldn't it just be easier to pop in on the day it comes out and pick up a copy then? Or, even easier, not buy it at all and go and sit in Starbucks instead, where I can watch as many grumpy teenagers grunting at each other as I want for free?
