    Sounds like an internet Board. For beer words the one I would like to see less use is "Awesome". Now, I can be struck with awe by truly amazing things but not over something as simple as beer.

    A lot of my pet peeves have been mentioned...sessionable, dank, price-point (I hate that in all walks of life, not just beer), frost brewed, cold filtered. Off-topic, but worthy of a mention since I hate it so much...here in SC I hear a lot of people say ciderbeer, when refering to ciders

    Craft is even more vague. It is actually starting to become something of a joke.

    apart from the fact that jokes are supposed to be funny. It's more of an affectation.

    Craft is the worst. Hand crafted is pretty lame as well.

    I'm not sure whether the beer I'm drinking is good or not, but I like it.

    The cast of Cheers didn't give a damn about mouth feel, hop variety, price point or hype and you know it.

    Sounds more like a tick-a-thon than a session. :wink::wink:

    ...and if the cast of Cheers would have just used the term 'price', they would have sounded a lot less douchey

    Seems like what's really bugging you the most about people using the term "Price Point" is that "Price" and "Price Point" actually mean two different things and most folks who use "Price Point" ignore (or don't know) the important difference between price and a price point.

    What really bothers me is pseudo intellectuals analyzing my opinions

    Ahh, can't spot the difference between pseudo and the real thing I see. :slight_smile:

    Best get used to it since anyone, pseudo or real, who takes the time to read your posts is analyzing what you say.
