2. My housemate freaks out -
If you whisper the word "Imagination" to her in the dark. Not sure why - but it really scares her. :shrug:

3. I assume you're referring to the Zune.
Agreed. Bad terminology.

5. It's the new Microsoft MP3 player.
The terminology they use for file sharing is "squirting." Most people thought it was a poor choice of words.

10. Any abbreviation like that makes me crazy...
one of my kids is always saying things like, "I need to get the deposit in for the trip to Cali." and "My uni needs washing."

I throw things at him when he does it.

12. "Cali" drives me fucking insane.
Next time you throw something at your kid for saying that, throw a second thing at him and say "And that was from Zavulon." Please.

15. You're doing the right thing. Thanks.
Your kid must be stopped. You're an excellent parent.

I'm trying to get my niece, who lives with me now and will until the end of the school year, to stop using abbreviated names like "K-Fed." It may be time to resort to hurled footwear.

24. "issue", when used instead of "problem"
I don't know why, it's just like fingernails on a blackboard.
