But now people all of a sudden have to use "masterclass" to describe every f'n thing.  It's like some dictionary.com word of the day shit.  Another one is "banger."  Every song that every person now likes is called a "banger".  

Less infuriating, but still annoying....people who have to start off a sentence with "My guy," or every human being that utters the phrase "Let's go!" or "Let's ***** go!" to celebrate.  

I used to hear "pardigrm shift" only from annoying project managers pushing "new" methodologies and now everyone loves saying it.  

I'm sure there are plenty more...but masterclass is just the stupidest word ever.

My guy, relax. Your post is a masterclass banger, so let's go! Bet?
