  My 'boss' says hundreds of things that piss me off, very few of them work related strangely... she's awesome and I hate her, at the same time.

  How about 'Crude' being used as a descriptive word for assessing a layout, I f*ckin' hate that, as it's suggests something done without care, attention and it's not very helpful!

  An old boss on the other hand had a few choice phrases. I used to hear him say:

  "it is fit for purpose", and;
  "before you show it to me, are YOU happy with with?"

  quite a lot...

  Also adjectives for design pieces/work:
  Sweet
  Cute
  Sexy
  gorgeous

  • What positive adjectives should be used then? 'Nice'? 'Good'?– detritus1/5

    Great, nice, fantastic, brilliant, outstanding.– Dancer2/5

    In a normal environment where they are used far less I would be ok but I work in a studio full of women and I hear them all the time...– Dancer3/5

    the time– Dancer4/5

    Ah. Yes, that kind of makes sense. I was just smarting, because I like to use teh gorjos. I am a camp man, sigh– detritus5/5

• Spookytim

  I think any adjectives used regularly become irritating, but I really hate to hear people talk about things as being 'sexy'.

  I have a client who I wont name who asks me to do J-Graphics, J-Style, J-Lettering... and the first two commissions I had really no fucking idea what he emant and just thought it was his own twaterminology. Recently though I've heard others refer to J-images, J-graphics, and J-art.

  J-Fuck. Off.

  • wtf? never heard of it– kelpie1/2

    No. J-Graphics is, by all accounts "Japanese Graphics" and so on.– Spookytim2/2

• modern

  Current one is fine, an old one I used to hate was describing our work as adding the varnishing/polish to everything.

  Of course 95% of what we produced had stupid reflective floors and glossy buttons all over the place, seemed like he meant it literally.
