I've put together a list of some of the fads and catchphrases that have been around on MacNN (thankfully most of them are gone now). Vote on your favourite.

I feel it's having a "personal home page"
EVERYONE wanted them... and universities would practically give out PhDs if you could create one.

Ripeness.
I laughed so hard and his antics and the copycats, of which I am also to blame. What made it funny though was how angry everyone else would get.

The one I hate the most (and I admit to doing it once) is to post a "lock" (or demand a lock) in threads where the poster doesn't agree with the topic at hand, or it isn't going as expected.
If you don't like a thread, just don't read it. That shouldn't be too hard to do...

or better yet, telling people they're going to put someone on "ignore". Damn, that's pathetic.
"Oh no, I"m losing this discussion! Well, I'll show you, you're going on my Ignore list. WhAAA!!"

I agree. The "Get a blog" posts are the lamest. I have been guilty of it, but I saw the light. Da Lounge is a blog!

And a few posts later they are replying to them!!! I find that hilarious. SWF is the worst offender.
