Axiomatic.

I can't count how many fucktards have wedged this word into a conversation this year.

Last year, it was fucking "Zeitgeist" everywhere you went. The pseudo-intellectuals love this shit.

What's next? Pleonasm?

I have never heard anyone use that in a conversation. I've been lucky.

hmm axiomatic:

1 : taken for granted : SELF-EVIDENT
2 : based on or involving an axiom or system of axioms <axiomatic set theory>

and zeitgeist:

1 : the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era
2 : novel by Bruce Sterling

I'm beginning to see this word pop up everywhere in various newsletters and publications. I work in the bicycle industry and we get a whole bunch of newsletters and trade publications every week, and it's like "It's axiomatic this...the axiomatic procedure is this...it's an axiomatic situation that....", it makes the damn things a pain in the ass to read. I hate it when the they use these words to sound all sophisticated or important or something, but they end up butchering the language and coming off as retards. Never run into the zeitgeist craze though, hopefully that's a regional thing that we'll never get up here.

Axiomatic is even a monster template in D&D.

You really don't have to use "axiomatic" iutside of discussions about math and logic, so there's no reason for these giys to throw it around.

"Axiomatic"??

I don't know what it means, but it sounds like those words which never are used by anybody else than H.P. Lovecraft.
