| Most American slang, mainly because it's delivered in such a try-hard 'ooo I'm such a cool guy for saying this' kind of way. The word 'dope' being used as an adjective is especially vexatious. |

"yo, it is what it is"
"no homo"
and business jargon [e.g. 'interfacing'/'liaising' instead of meeting and speaking; also turning the word expedite into an adverb...] |

Exactly. Most new slang is just so obviously forced. I think it's like trendy ridiculous accessories (trucker hats, wristbands, etc), it takes a certain personality to pull it off, but even when these people do, you can still see right through it if you're semi-concious.

Well, then you care somewhat don't you.
Too bad "I couldn't care less" doesn't hold the same weight. |
