So I was noticing that too. It started out of no where about 6 months ago, and now everyone does it.

What about these words uttered by a very well known individual...

“Uh, uh, I also want to thank, uh, uh, uh, the, uh, this, uh, well, uh, uh, eh —

uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, uh, uh, uhh, is...? Uh, is of — of their work, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, we, uh, uh, I called, uh, uh, and I’m — I’m — Uh, with, uh, uh, as, uh, that, uh, and uh, uh, um, uh”

“Awesome” bugs me too.

How about the words uttered by collectivists, “forward,” and “progress.” They have so hijacked for so long...

And more importantly, "liberal".

I can tell you the most misunderstood word in America.

Starts with an ‘n’

Has two ‘g’s in the midst

Ends in ‘ard’

Means “an excessively parsimonious, miserly, or stingy person.”

Has fooled the Admin Mods on this very site, who deleted a post containing said word, which is not racist in the least, unless you’re an easily offended Scotsman.

I have two:

“moving forward” and “optics”, although the latter is disappearing.

But what if you are liberal on gun laws? Isn’t that a good thing?

Oh here’s another:

“I’ll be honest with you.”

Hey a$$hole, if you aren’t honest to begin with, don’t waste my time—take a hike!

My most irritating word is “dude”. I was talking to a couple of teens when one slipped and addressed me as “dude”. I gave him a look to make his blood run cold and said: “You can call me ‘Robert’ or ‘Bob’ or ‘Mr. Smith’ or ‘Sir’ or even ‘Hey, you’, but don’t you ever call me ‘dude’. Do you understand me? Nod your head and say ‘Yes, sir’.”

The word that annoys me most is “right”. Everything is a “right” these days. Foreigners now have the “right” to be subsidized by the American taxpayers. People have a “right” to have someone else pay their medical bills. Animals have “rights”.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

It's difficult to respond when you've been axed a question.

“Amazing” - I can’t stand how overused this word is. Everyone’s amazing.


I think “amazing” is an awesome word. Just awesome in its awesomeness.

“I’ll be honest with you.”

Right up there with "I'm a real Conservative!".

John Cornyn is spending millions saying just that.

I don’t have to endure those because I don’t listen to the face that utters them. I have never heard him say over 4 or 5 words before the remote has the channel changed.

That one word has replaced at least a dozen more precise ones. Due to its over- and misuse, I can't remember any of the words it superceded.

Thank you, lazy Millennials.
