I thought about this thread this week and forgot only to remember it yet again when I heard a word that gave me ants under my skin.
Yourgage. It's a commercial that talks about a mortgage being on your terms.
Groupon. It's a coupon for a group. Urgh.
I don't know but most people would like or love play on words. I tend to loathe the concept. It doesn't just end with words - phrases or catchy tunes can drive me batty as well. It should be on everyone's list:
5. 5 dollar. 5 dollar foot long. And with that their Febru'any goes along with that.
What kind of wording, phrases or catchy tunes drives you nuts?

When people use the phrase "unborn babies", it makes me curl up into a little ball, start shaking uncontrollably and cry until the wee hours.

Half serious.
Primarily in the use of "babies", I think it has too many emotional ties to the born kind. Foetus, zygote, etc. I think are much more fitting. Also, "unborn" brings up connotations of something born being shoved back in. It's just not a natural prefix for me.

"******** YOU TRANNY!"
What makes me happy is watching The Late Late Show.

I wonder if chicks get off when they're pushing out babies.

"Do you sell UBS?"
Customer "I'd like a memory stick"
Me "Ok, are you after a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo (or equivalent), or a common, every day USB flash drive?"
Customer "What's the difference?"
Me: "Le sigh"

Selling goods people don't actually need is quite frustrating.

More money for the company by talking them into a product that they don't need is a good thing right? I typically stay away from name brands to begin with.

Not neccessarily a word but a spelling. *****, as Americans spell it, means a foot fetishist if we look at where the word came from. Why do you hate the foot lovers? Why?
Now, less likely to upset people as a topic words/phrases:
Lol, rofl, gtg, brb...Basically, internet acronyms used in spoken conversation. Seriously, why say lol instead of laughing? You have vocal chords, laugh - laugh I demand!
