The word I can't stand is "What-Not" !!

What the heck is a What-Not?

[Jack Hydrazine]

And from the enviro-nuts, “sustainable.”

[fatnotlazy]

I use “whatever” particularly when some liberal without a valid argument, starts calling me a racist or homophobe. There was a time when I would try to defend myself against such accusations, but I realize now that this is one of their tactics. Under those circumstances, the word “whatever” is appropriate

[Lowell1775]

My own sins include using “basically”, “bottom line”.......and the dreaded, “let me be blunt”.....which is in itself a way of not being blunt.

OMG....now I notice my little “dot.....dot.....dot’s” annoy even me......oh well. More insecurities.

Literally... when used to mean figuratively.

During a football game the announcer said "The Giants have literally shot themselves in the foot..." and I wondered if Plaxico Burress had been picked up by the team.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is a perpetual offender with “obviously”. To the point that people in these parts have begun to refer to him as “Captain Obviously”.

[Noob1999]

“At the end of the day”

“Win - win!”

“Where the rubber meets the road”

[DManA]

"scary".

eg. It's scary there are people who think like Phil Robertson running around free.

[Venturer]

I hate it when people” axe” me a question.

[Disambiguator]

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.

"The reality is..."

"It's working better..."

[SgtHooper]

I have two:

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

[SgtHooper]

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!

[MasterGunner01]

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’.”

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 Due to its over- and misuse, I can't remember any of the words it superceded.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.

[Proud2BeRight]

“Like” is the word used to display stupidity.

[IbJensen]

Obama is the word.

[ßuddaßudd]

I like abusing the word extra ordinary .

[Husker8877]

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

[Tallguy]

“Unexpected” Especially when it’s not...

[Conservative4Ever]

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