Someone used 'webinar' in a non-sarcastic manner to me the other day, which ... eesh. Just eesh.
I should probably add 'slidarian' to the lst - the visual-resources curators I was on a mailing list with several years ago (i.e., slide librarians, for the most part) had some people actually using 'slidarian,' which annoyed the fool out of me.
"woot", not "what". I was proposing another word to never use non-sarcastically. narya said she would never use "w00t", and I protested that I had heard her use it. "But not seriously", she explained.
It's apparently a l33t (gah!) phrase meaning "woo hoo!". Attempts to explain its etymology include an abbreviation of "woo hoo, we've found loot!" used by online gamers. Or something like that.

They all sound like villain-ology terms from old comic books.
"It is I, the CYBRARIAN! With my dread wepaon the BLOGOSPHERE, I will render this city unto total destruct--oh, dammit. It's my old 'partner', Webinar."
"Excuse me bitch but -I- own copyright on the BLOGOSPHERE. Give it over!"

Someone actually called me a cybrarian the other day after hearing what I do for a living. I came this close to thwacking her but instead rolled my eyes and announced that I would never, ever use that word. Ever.
And just yesterday I had to sit in on a webinar that was called such. UGH.
The librarians here were asked a couple of years ago if we were interested in changing our job titles to something vauge, some kind of "Information Something-or-other." We put down our collective foot and said essentially that we're quite happy to continue being called librarians, thankyouverymuch. And fortunately my colleagues tend to stay away from other trendy terms and neologisms.
