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

Fair enough
although the change from noun to verb as a word is incorporated into the language is perhaps a little more understandable.
I feel that quite often what people object to is the perceived "laziness" of using a noun as a verb where a perfectly good verb or phrase of equivalent meaning already exists. It's also a good reason to dislike Americans!
I suspect linguistic purity is largely a cover-story.
