In other words, it's repetitive, monotonous, and certainly not cool.

And don't forget "redundant".
No! I don't want that!

And remember, that image wasn't photoshopped, it was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® software.

Quote from: The Adobe® Website (don't say "Adobe's website," that's just evil.)
Proper use of the Photoshop trademark

Trademarks help protect corporate and product identity, and Photoshop is one of Adobe's most valuable trademarks. By following the below guidelines, you can help Adobe protect the Photoshop brand name.

The Photoshop trademark must never be used as a common verb or as a noun. The Photoshop trademark should always be capitalized and should never be used in possessive form, or as a slang term. It should be used as an adjective to describe the product, and should never be used in abbreviated form. Do not tease the trademark, he does not like that. Remember to wash your trademark every day, and never go more than two days without scraping its tank. The following examples illustrate these rules:

 Let's have fun protecting corporate trademarks together!

Trademarks are not verbs.

CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

Trademarks are not nouns.

CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.
INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.

Always capitalize and use trademarks in their correct form.

CORRECT: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.
INCORRECT: The image was Photoshopped.
INCORRECT: The image was Adobe® Photoshopped.

Trademarks must never be used as slang terms.

CORRECT: Those who use Adobe® Photoshop® software to manipulate images as a hobby see their work as an art form.
INCORRECT: A photoshopper sees his hobby as an art form. INCORRECT: My hobby is photoshopping.

Trademarks must never be used in possessive form, even though if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you're on now, you'll see that we use the word Adobe in possessive form in our own official literature. Do as we say, not as we do.

CORRECT: The new features in Adobe® Photoshop® software are impressive.
INCORRECT: Photoshop's features are impressive.

Trademarks are proper adjectives and should be followed by the generic terms they describe.

CORRECT: The image was manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was manipulated using Photoshop.

Trademarks must never be abbreviated.

CORRECT: Take a look at the new features in Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: Take a look at the new features in PS.

The trademark owner should be identified whenever possible.

Adobe and Photoshop are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States and/or other countries.

Show proper respect to trademarks.

CORRECT: Adobe® Photoshop® software is excellent for many uses.
INCORRECT: Adobe® Photoshop® software sucks.

For more information on the proper use of Adobe's trademarks, please refer to the general trademark guidelines. For more fun with protecting corporate trademarks, purchase the Corporate Trademark Training - Adobe® Photoshop® software game for Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s Nintendo DS dual-screened entertainment computer.
Of course, I don't have to worry about all this, I just use Gimp as a verb.

I'ma photoshop me up some playstation nintendos. With PS. That would be the best photoshop ever. So good, I'd have to xerox some copies to show my friends. So good, I'd cry, and have to kleenex my eyes.

This is, like, the picture equivalent of YouTube videos like "The King Says 'Mah Boi' For Five Minutes."

In other words, it's repetitive, monotonous, and certainly not cool.
I feel this odd combination of "I wish I was dead" and "God, what is the world coming to?" whenever I am forced to realize how popular that stuff is.

Eff that. Every time I hear some company whine about proper use of their product's name, I just say it wrong more.
