“Like” is the word used to display stupidity.

It’s called an ellipsis. And they only annoy me when people do it wrong. There should be only three dots. No more. No less.

Which gives me an idea...

I actually like those phrases.

Sometimes I say, “let me be honest”, at which point I correct myself and say. “No. I’m always honets. I meant, let me be Frank. And don’t call me Shirley.”

The most overused phrase might be “It is what it is.”

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.

I use the "mute" button, it's faster.
And then go get some coffee or have a smoke.

For the last 5 years, “Unexpected” has truly been annoying.

Ouch!
That reminds me,

"unprecedented" when it's not, and used instead of "I'm an idiot."

When did a *t* in the word often lose it’s silent status? It is neither amazing nor awesome.

“A Whatnot is a triangular set of shelves that you put nick-knacks on.”

Yup, my mother had one hanging in a corner in the dining room of our house when I was a kid. And yes, it had ‘nick-knacks’ on it.

From Wikipedia:

"What-not is also an English term used to incorporate any other details not mentioned. This term is used much like et cetera to supplement details."
