Certainly.

Here’s some things that really bother me...

The word “sick” used to be something bad, now (to some people) it now means the opposite.

Expressing agreement by using the single word “this”, or even worse, “x2”.

The non-word “prolly”.

“My bad”

Starting a sentence with the word “yes” and then immediately following it with the word “no”.

[GreenHornet]

Should People Stop Saying “Absolutely” So Much?

This would eliminate about half of the dialogue in the "Rocky" films.

[Professional Engineer]

My favorite instructor at the Seminary was Father D'Amico. We were siting around one day just talking and I asked him how he had managed to stay out of hot water all these years when discussing philosophy. He told me that he always made use of sense. I looked rather puzzled and he told me to ask him a philosophical question. So I asked: Was Plato correct in his Allegory of the cave?

He smiled and replied "In a sense."

He said that as our experience grows we can change our perceptions and that old views pass away. The raisin pudding model of atoms made way for protons neutrons and electron.

Amen.

Also “baffled” has been overused in news stories.

[Alas Babylon!]

I’m a technical trainer, and very often an adult student will raise their hand and say “Can/May I ask you a question?”

I can’t help but to laugh at this, as it IS a question. So I’ll say “You just did,” and pretend to move on. After that, I always tell them, “If you have a question, just ask it. This class/course will teach you nothing if you don’t aks questions that you have! By all means, ask! I might not know the answer, but if not, I’ll strive to find someone who does, or at least get as close to an answer as I can.”

I just find it funny because it happens all the time.

After getting this done, can we call out the moronic use of the word “So” to begin every answer to any questions?

[Fresh Wind]

“I see what you did there” needs to go.

[kaehurowing]

Exactly!

[TruthWillWin]

Get rid of “absolutely” and “at the end of the day” it will be be an “awesome” “win win”.

[mc5cents]

I would agree that Apparently we use it too much.
