As a nurse, I see lots of wierd lingo. How many of you know off the top of your head that "bradycardia" refers to a slower than normal heart rate? Stuff like that is fine, mostly Latin and Greek combinations designed by physicians to impress the lay public and each other. It's easy to learn.
What bothers me is when they start elevating simple words to that level. My pet peeve is "orientated", commonly used to describe how to do a job. "I was orientated to the new unit", for example. This has always stuck in my craw. I can't say it. I see no use whatsoever for the extra syllable. Show me how to do a job. Show me the ropes. Even orient me, but please don't orientate me, I find it insulting. I know, "orientate" is listed as a synonym for "orient", but I still hate it.
On the subject of "verbizing" nouns. In my corner of the world, a caboose at the end of a train is also called a "waycar". Virtually nonexistant these days. Somehow, the noun "waycar" became a verb, as in "Go waycar track #3, meaning to put a caboose on track#3. Horrible usage, but such examples are becoming more common. Quit "verbizing" our nouns!
