You likely hear it every day. And if it bugs you, youre not alone. The most annoying word in American conversation has been revealed: whatever.
And get this: its the fifth year in a row the nine-letter casual word has taken top ticked-off honors.
According to a Marist poll, 38 percent of Americans cant stand the word. Taking second-place honors is like with 22 percent, then you know with 18 percent followed by just sayin with 14 percent and obviously with 6 percent.
The 38 percent number is up six points from last year.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I can’t stand:
“My bad”
“Disrespect” used as a verb
And, dear God help me, “cray cray”.
Closer to home: what are the most annoying brief posts on FR? (Outside of religious threads.)
BINGO!

People blurt it out without any thought of religious meaning or what they are actually trying to convey
Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but “Whatever!” is the prelude to more domestic disputes gone bad than most other things.
It’s the end to conversation and the only way of continuing is...bad.

I know these are two words, but the overuse of “no problem!” breezily inflected, is starting to irritate me. Often in these cases, service barely merits a “thank you.” Perhaps, I’m an enabler.

As far as “whatever” it is a polite way off telling someone to “f.... off”. It can be a useful word.
My most hated words are “like” “I was like” and “exactly”.
