It's not slang, but I'm bothered when people use the words "setup" and "login" as verbs while using the phrases "setting up" and "logging in". If you're going to use "setup" and "login" as verbs, please use the words "setupping" and "loginning". I especially like "loginning".

The verbs are "set up" and "log in". "Setup" and "login" would be nouns, as in, "Can I see your setup?" and, "What is your login?"

Since you prefer "loginning" to "logging in", do you also prefer "beatupping him" to "beating him up" and "dropoutting" to "dropping out"?
