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."

I hate all words.

But I do enjoy a sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.

When I here the word “stakeholder”, I reach for my revolver...

For most annoying phrases, I'd nominate:
"Let me be perfectly clear ..."

It is the embodiment of ignoring the facts and clinging to your feelings.

“Let me be very clear” is a phrase I hate as obama says it all the time and he is as clear as mud.

“Whatever” is actually EIGHT letters, not nine.

I’d have to pick “literally” as the most annoying word, mostly for being misused.

Whatever -

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

(Merry Christmas to all!)

It’s quite annoying when people use “myself” improperly. Most of the time they should be using “me” or “I” instead.

A what-not is a shelf to put knick knacks on.

My least favorite is a compilation of words that people apocopate.
