"This". For when people confirm that they can't come up with their own original opinion.
Also "fixed" or "fixed that for you" when the same people don't want someone else having an original thought.

I think you missed the point of the thread, buddy. This is about words that grate your ears, not phrases you read on message boards.
But to go along with that, what makes you think people can't form their own original opinions? Maybe they had the same thought prior to reading it and did not want to type out the exact same response.

The word 'ask' when used as a noun. I work in a large corporation and this has been the latest corporate jargon trend word.
Examples
'I will take that ask and follow up after the meeting.'
'In response to the ask that was brought up earlier...'
Damnit, is question to big of a word to pronounce?
Wow. Never heard that one. Seriously sick. Glad I'm no longer in corporate structure. I think you should call out HR on that one.
I used to have B**S*** Bingo sheets to take to those big meetings. I ended up with too many words for a 5x5 (with wildcard in middle), so I put an Excel sheet together to randomly select the 50-something words/phrases to fill the grid, and hand out to co-workers. Sure made those meetings seem to go faster!

The written word is really not so different from speech. It's just replacing it. Perhaps you think it is radically different somehow.
What makes me think people can't form their own opinion? Mostly the fact that they are NEVER the first one to post a thought but routinely parrot other people.
two words together: "my bad."

Sweet! Never heard of the site before; guess I should have marketed it way back when! Right-sizing, Empowerment, Paradigm, anyone?
