People with overly hysterical laughs, who laugh at absolutely everything, that you can hear from 50 miles away.

How certain words become popular and then get used far more than is necessary and often in contexts that don't make sense or are just incorrect. See:

Literally
Random
Epic
Artisan

Latest one is 'innovative'. In the corporate world this seems to be particularly prevalent. It's one of those buzzwords people just throw into conversation or marketing spiel seemingly without understanding what it means or just using it to increase their wordcount.

"We'd like to come in and show you our really innovative presentation on... and how this truly innovative product can benefit you!"

Yeah, that's a Powerpoint presentation showing slightly different ways of doing things to what our current service does. There's nothing remotely new or original in either the format or the ideas. :fp:

Hasnt Artisan been given legal meaning now? I think it has in Ireland at least, should cut down on it appearing everywhere which is definitely a good thing.

Never heard artisan before.

I didn't even know what it meant. The benefit of a not classical education.

We just had an artisan bakery open up nearby.

I love it, not because I shop there but because it is more evidence of gentrification and therefore an increase in the house prices. :datass:

All we need now is a cereal café and I will be able to sell up and retire.

Artisan - (of food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way using high-quality ingredients.

Hipster bullshit, basically.

Even as an artist the word has lost all meaning. I just had to google it to check the definition. Shows up several places within miles of oneanother on a map with "Artisan X", "Artisan Y". My god it's endemic. :lol:

Having to strawberry floating sign in to Nvidia control panel just to update my graphics drivers. strawberry floating infuriating.

"Hey, wanna keep your system up to date? Not until you give our marketing department all your valuable contact information/social media permissions!"

strawberry float right off, banana splits.

Made even worse because I can't remember my password for it either, and my password manager won't autofill it in the app, so I have to go and manually look it up myself like a chump.
