People: stop using the word "utilize." Nothing pisses me off more than to hear someone blather on in a meeting about utilizing this, or utilizing that. Or read it in a technical manual, or in some newspaper article.
YOU MEAN USE, SO SAY USE.
Unless you're using your Excel program to create nuclear weapons, you're "using" it. Not utilizing. Utilize is reserved for doing something new, fancy, or even unexpected, with a tool.
Want to know how often any of us, in our little worker bee lives, actually "utilize" something at work? Not very damn often. So "use" it instead, mmkay?
Also...
Stop chiming in with "And Many More..." in that sing-songy voice after you sing someone Happy Birthday at the office. You sound like a fuck. Stop it.

Who's the foul mouth now?
I HAVE to agree with the "and many more" thing tho. WAY gay, and I don't mean that in a "I've a tactful fashion-sense, good hygiene, and I like it in the pooper" kind of way.
Sweetie, I never claimed to be sweet and innocent. Remember who my boyfriend is.
"I've a tactful fashion-sense, good hygiene, and I like it in the pooper"
