Also overused:

“at the end of the day”

“I’m old enough to remember when __” (and then speaker goes on to cite an event from the very recent past such as last week)

claiming B is A “on steroids”

Sorry, just venting about some of my language peeves.

The use of loose (adjective) instead of lose (verb) causes me to lose it. As does the use of lead (present tense, or a metal, or the core of a pencil) instead of led (Joe ably led the team).
