The illiterate way to say "oriented." While technically a word, you sound like a moron when you say it.

Bill: Can't you tell?
Max: No
Bill: Look at that building...
Max: Oh ya, I remember now, I'm so orientated!
Bill: Your orientation astounds me, it's a beautiful thing.

Orientalism is historically an expression of the curiosity of an imperialistic mindset, though this is becoming less so.

Politically incorrect term used in place of "Asian." Correct usage should be an adjective for things like inanimate objects, not humans.
Correct usage: There's an Oriental rug store on Derbe Drive.
or
Are you going to the Oriental market?
Incorrect usage: Is that dude oriental?
or
Orientals are known to be bad drivers.

The word is supposed to be "orient." I'm not sure why people think orientate is the word, but it sounds like something dumb people make up to sound intelligent. They need to orient themselves with the English language.
I went to orientation to become orientated.
I'm not redneck-orientated. I know how to speak English.
Everytime I hear the word "Orientated" I want to cringe. It's as bad as hearing the word "ain't" or "warsh."
