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.

“Like” is the word used to display stupidity.
To: Lowell1775
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.”

I like abusing the word extra ordinary .

The most overused phrase might be “It is what it is.”
To: RetiredArmy
I dont have to endure those because I dont 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.

How annoying is the word "Misspoke" ??
No ya di'nt, you lied your ass off.
To: Tallguy
For the last 5 years, “Unexpected” has truly been annoying.
To: Tallguy
Unexpected Especially when its not... 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."
