Some words that you use as a teenager/young adult are cool. However, once you enter the business world, some of these words have to leave your vocabulary lest you run the risk of sounding immature - and believe me, immature is almost as bad as dumb. These words and their replacements are listed below:
Old Word: Awesome (or Sweet!) - Replace with: Great.
Old Word: Seems - Replace with: Appears.
Old Word: Cool - Replace with: Excellent.
Old Word: Fun - Replace with: Interesting.
Old Word: Cops, 5-0, pigs - Replace with: Police (they arent your enemy anymore, they protect you)
Old Word: A'ight - Replace with: Yes.
Old Word: Bi'atch - Replace with: ...(silence)...
Of course there are some words you dont get rid of: Boo-yah (always sounds cool), HOT (useful for so many things) and my personal favorite - Badonkadonk.
