You mean facilitate a group discussion?

Apparently I am late to the hate on this one. This is the fifth hit on google when you search curate:

I think I first noticed "curate" when a KEXP DJ used it 4 times in the span of 3 minutes. Now I hear it everywhere.

EVO ski has a curated selection of the finest ski gear. hand selected range of brands and good (generally on the small side) that's not what's forced on them by distributors or heavy on megaconglomerates (no idea if it's true anymore of EVO). dunno, have heard curated a bunch in the past ~5 years for stores that generally have interesting stuff that's tremendously "overpriced". for surfshops, mollusk http://mollusksurfshop.com/

JCAHO

Hospitalists

Checklists

Patients that don't follow preps for exams and bitch about why they can't get their exam done that day.

People that take photos of other's artwork for sale and print the photo as their own.

People that take photos of bike trail maps in shops and don't bother to purchase the map.

People who start threads with clever thread names that spoof another thread names. This is not ttips and it's not 2004. Stop it.

Basketball

Excessively doughy pizza

Feeling hungover/exhausted after only drinking a little bit (3 good brews at most)

People with ridiculous cell phone ringtones that leave them at their desk and let them ring incessantly. Pretty soon someone is going to be looking for their phone and it will be in the goddamn freezer.

It annoys people when my Theme from Sex and the City comes on in meetings and I don't silence it? You should have told me! Will switch back to Star Wars...

I'd recommend "Dancing Queen" or "My Heart Will Go On."

There's a guy in my office whose ring tone is always some really loud music and when he answers it it's usually his wife who he talks to like she's a five year old.
