And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!

The use of ANY and I mean ANY Japanese word regularly associated with weeaboos in conversation will automatically cause me to hate you. For example, referring to any one who isn't Japanese by Japanese honorifics ("Hana-chan is over there") using "Nani", "Kawaii", "Desu", or proudly referring to yourself as an "Otaku".
Nani? KalashnikovMarine-Kun wa kawaii otaku desu ka?
In all seriousness, it is incredibly annoying. Even the Japanese have had enough of it. As someone who speaks a little Japanese it infuriates me. ESPECIALLY when people refer to themselves as, for example, "Fred-San". In Japanese you NEVER use an honorific on your own name in conversation, as it makes you sound like a disrespectful pompous prick.
Sigh.

I have just been reminded of 3 more all press related.
calling something "...gate" like at the moment we seem so be having Nazigate in this thread. Seriously, think up another way of referring to an incident journos!
Calling something black "day of the week" see above.
and lastly this may be Australia only, calling some famous person "our (insert name here)" Our nicole, our rusty, our other person who doesn't live here. Though i must admit if i'm feeling facetious (i was going to say ironic but i'm scared someone here will tell me i'm using it wrongly) I will use it, particularly with "reality tv stars".

Another thing I hate, and it's similar to this is people taking ownership of a sports team... Auburn beats Alabama.. 'Burn fan talking to 'Bama fan: "man, we totally kicked your tails on saturday" Ohh really!? Do you play for the team? Do you work on the training staff, front office, ticket booth, stadium, or in any way shape or form work for the team you are talking about?? Then your team winning cannot be called "we". This applies to college, professional and international sports... Sorry NZ, if you aren't on the Rugby team, the All Blacks are not "we", South Africa same deal with your soccer team, etc.

Probably has something to do with the fact that there is no "T" in Nazi and that Na-Zi should be pronounced Na-Zee as the i after the z makes an e sound.
The party was called "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", with the members called Nazis for short. As it's a German word, the "z" is pronounced with a "ts" sound.
Mozart
Yes, Mozart is a German name and would thus follow the same rules of pronounciation as nazi. Your point is?

Yes, but if I am not actually a member of that team or staff, how should I be able to say "we" when my team wins or loses? I mean, when the US sprinting team takes a gold medal, can you really say how well "we" did, if you aren't on the olympic team, or aren't the person in question? I know many people do that, in the meaning that "we" means America. It just kinda bugs me a bit, even though I am guilty of it as well.

Maybe those from the UK region can clue me in (as you gents and ladies are the only ones I see use it), it's not a huge deal, only a mild furrowed brow, but what is whinge? Anytime I've seen it, it instantly makes me think of whining, or to whine. But I've also seen on a couple of occasions the word used in conjunction with whine (as in: whinge and whining)

There essentially synonyms.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I've started to say "I could care less" after the first time I read one of these threads oh, three or four iterations ago and I saw how much it steams people up. Just so I can explain to any jerkoffs who have the audacity to try to tell me what I meant to say how wrong they are.
"No, you dumb bastard, I could quite easily care less about the Ravens if I put some effort into it. I simply choose not to."
So far it has happened thrice, and I eagerly look forward to the next time.
