Most over used words!

Simon's thread of "Life's Ironies",

, just gave me an idea for this thread. When watching TV, talking to friends, clients, colleagues, et al... what do you think is the most over used word that keeps popping up? A word that you just find so damn annoying in its over usage.

For me its "...ABSOLUTELY..." From BBC journalists, lecturers, interviewers, to friends and colleagues. Can something really be that absolute?

.... easy one rO.

Delivery
Robust
Celebrity

[patrickspark]

"like"
"awesome"
"cool"
"you know"

[El Catador]

For me, its:

"supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

I just think its, ahem, atrocious.

[tippexx]

Oh and I forgot the other one .....

Target.

Which theses days is a euphemism for something which might be desirable but can never possibly be realised by the idiots in charge of the aim.

"Solution"

It's never just a chair these days, it's a seating solution. It's not tippex, it's an error resolution solution Case in point:




What does it even mean? Man, I hate management speak.

I'll second "Celebrity" usually used to describe anyone who gets their name in the paper or is on TV for 5 minutes, when in actual fact 99.9% of people described as a "Celebrity" are highly annoying, zero talented nobody's who would go to the opening of an envelope!

Sorry for the rant, just can't stand all the so called "Celebrities".

What does it even mean?

The diagram? The clueless chasing their tails!

[satch]

The latast expression amongst, er, "young people" seems to be"sick".
As in "Wow, sick work in the tube there, dude!"
I think it means "fab".
Could be wrong of course.

I think people can cut conversations down by 50%, especially when your in a hurry... If only they would stop saying

'err'
'um'

between every 2nd or sometimes 3rd word.. of course there are also those that use it in conversation consecutively.. as in err err err um um um..

[Boss Hog]

I know these are more than one word but how about

"welcome to UKCF"
"Ooo those look nice"
and
"shuckins just bombed me again"

[Drewmidorn]

"My Bad" bugs me.....

However not as much as made up scientific crap they put on digestive drinks/washing powder/hi fi cables/skin products.

[Simon-JG-hr]

"f***"

Now, I'm partial to a bit of swearing myself, but this word seems to be primarily used for the sake of using it, rather than to actually emphasis anything (just listen to a chav).

[r0lan6]

Yes, the two words being "Shuckins" and "bomb" definitely comes to mind! - but in a good way!!!

My greatest 'vocabulary' irritation ("of teeth gnashing, give me a machine gun and let me exterminate the bloody lot of 'em!") is the trendy 'fashion' of the terminally tragic to deliberately mispronounce the 'TH' sound.

As in:
'I think' becomes 'I fink',
or, for a slightly longer example:
'I don't think he thought it through' becomes 'I don't fink he fought it frew'.

Once-upon-a-time, any knuckle dragging neanderthal who spoke like this would've been pitied or ridiculed (Jamie Rednapp - I'm looking at you), but what was once a 'Speech Impediment' has now actually become an 'Accent' for tossers wishing to sound 'Cool'.

Speak 'English' ya *******
