I know this rant has been done before, but one phrase has been used ad nauseum lately and I have to lodge a complaint - 'Nuff Said.
I fucking hate this dismissal, particularly when used in a heated debate. When someone makes a point and follows it with “nuff said” I want to reach into my monitor and throttle the arrogant bastard(s).
That’s all.
End of discussion. Case closed.

P.S. Everyone feel free to add any more or jump on my ass.

Some of the trolls like to incite shitfights with little “pet names” for whoever they are baiting at the time. Seeing someone called “sparky” or “bucko” or whatever doesn’t really make me want to take the poster seriously, to say the least.

Especially when they think they’ve closed the circle on a “great argument” but haven’t. Infuriating.
“Same difference.” Fortunately, not as popular as it once was, but I still hear it once in a while.
“Stay the course”, “Fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here”, or just about anything else Dubya repeats over and over and over again.
“This movie has been edited for content and to run in the alloted time.” Hey, show me the movie, or don’t; but don’t remove parts you deem offensive or unimportant.
I’ll second whoever it was who mentioned “business buzzwords” Especially in IT: Synergy. Paradigms. Web 2.0. Mindshare. Virtual whatever. Enterprise-class. It’s all fucking bullshit to convince us to buy an underperforming but overpriced “solution” that will have us coughing up cash for years to come. A true “paradigm shift” would be a reasonably priced product that actually works as advertised.
