Action items
I'm sitting here eating a pear, watching my inbox fill with new emails. Here comes another. And another.
I guess that, since my official title is "project manager," I need to make peace with the term "action items." I never heard that used outside of Fight Club until I came here. I can't say it myself without feeling my mouth contort, same as I could never say "y'all" until I'd left the South for a time and then returned with the knowledge that indeed I am a Southerner.

Hey girlie. Other such words that come to mind include the word "transition" used as a verb. I still hate that, though it no longer causes me much pause. I agree about y'all too. I use it often, and freely point out it's utility in marking the second person plural. Yep, I'm cool.
I have to confess, I may have used "architect" as a verb recently. I really hate that one, but in my job "information architecture" is so prevalent that it gets abused. Sigh.
