Love - it's fun to say, and it's a great middle ground between "getting into trouble" and "not doing anything (*trying to look innocent*)"

LOL!! I agree "architect" as a verb is right up there with "action a solution." FAIL!

I love shenanigans... and the word, too. :P

I'm pretty sure I can't hate problematize or hegemony by law as a sociologist. But I definitely prefer hegemony over problematize.

I do like "hegemonic."

One word I hate is the use of "architect" as a verb. As in technobabble management-ese when people say things like, "We need to architect a solution." Like Dear Dumbasses with no language skills, there's already a fucking verb for that: we call it "design."

Hmmm. Shenanigans. Do you love or hate? I'm not sure I have any emotional response to shenanigans....

All I want to add is: shenanigans.
