and my all time favorite....win-win or win-win-win

And don't forget the use of "basically" every other word. Funny (but true) story -- Years ago, while writing a memo with quotes from a witness's recorded interview, my very old version of WordPerfect informed me via a pop-up that "basically" was considered a "filler word" and not proper English.

And here I thought *I* was anal-retentive! ;-)

And "actually". Drives me nutz. The other is "go ahead and". Ugh.

LOL! If we had had this discussion 10 years ago, I would have used "basically" as my example instead of "so."

Instant death for those who begin every itterance by saying "So, basically...."
