caucus and Secaucus.

Also, Saugus.

Man, you said it. Easily the worst, vacant, soul-sucking part of Massachusetts ever (barring Hilltop Steak House/Produce, of course).

[Dan B]

"Rocker" as in a rock n roll guy.

How dare you?!  Saugus isn't a great town sure , it's hardly a town at all, it doesn't even have a downtown really.  But route one isn't all that bad.  OK, it's pretty bad, but I grew up there.  The worst part of mass is obviously the south shore.  It is truly the vapid vancant terrible awful terrible horrible uninhabital part of mass. 

North Shore Forever!

No offense, Sploops (for the record, I'm not a real big fan of my own hometown), but Saugus always creeped me out. Chelsea (where I lived for a couple of years afterwards) seemed warm and hospitable by comparison. The big Saugus Blanchards adjacent to the dinosaur golf course was excellent, I admit. And I never spent enough time on the South Shore to judge it one way or another.

I hate the words webinar and yank.

[Omar]

Pumpkinninny!

[Dorvid Barnas]

Baby Back Ribs.

I mean, I don't know about you, but is that supposed to me make me hungry?
Ew, gross.

Am I right, ladies?
Don't get me started.

[Dorvid Barnas]

Don't even get me started.

that is so bizarre... i grew up in metro west and then the nicer side of dorchester and spent a lot of time on the south shore and thought the exact same thing about the north shore. 

the south shore's worst city was obviously quincy... when compared to lynn, it looks like hyannisport. the south shore has hull and nantasket beach, and the north shore had revere and its hellhole of a beach.  the south shore has serene plymouth and the north shore has salem (half gorgeous, half tacky witch inspired tourist trap). and route one in saugus was like going to some weird drive through freak show. of course the south shore can't boast the beauty of marblehead or winthrop. now that im older and with a good friend of mine living in swampscott i can see the relative merits of both shores. that said... my least favorite word is 'kelly's roast beef'

Lynn, Lynn, City of Sin

I hate the words webinar and yank.

Arrgrhgrhg... webinar drives me insane!

Another one that seems to be growing in popularity: calling yourself a cineaste.  C'mon guys.

Also, has anyone suggested heady?  That's one for the books (of stuff that I hate).

The term "jerry-rigged" really bothers me.  I always think that deep down these people really want to say the racist version of this term instead.  This is especially infuriating when used by "superiors" at work.

[Sarah]

You know, I never heard the racist version of "jerry-rigged" till I moved here, eleven years ago.

You mean "kraut-rigged"? Because I thought the cabbage lobby had put an end to that sort of talk years ago.
