For me: "Played Hard"
I understand coaches, etc. saying that to athletes, or teams.
What I can't stand is hearing an adult say "I played hard" all weekend. Really? As opposed to what--playing soft? Just sounds dumb.
How about you?

I don't like words used to slam others. Beyond that, I find most other words or phrases tend to be regional or trendy, and those become kind of fun later on as they make you think of a certain place or time.

"Must be nice" because of the jealous sentiments it conveys.
...and filler words like "you know..." and "I mean.."
Also, "It is what it is" because I really like to understand the "why" of things, and that sentence sort of gives up on understanding why.

I really dislike people who make fun of others with mental disabilities, either by talking about them or likening themselves or friends to the disabled and laughing about it. Not cool at all.

I don't like hearing people say, orientated/disorientated. It's oriented/disoriented.

Literally - have a couple people at work who uses this all the time. And using so at the end of your sentences - I know, but I didn't think it would happen, so...

I dislike when people adopt "marketing" speak and start referring to regular things in the language marketers use...eg., I had a salad with "garden fresh" tomato. "I purchased a home using my Realtor" - this one is actually programmed speech from the Realtor's association who wanted to elevate real estate agents, the act of buying a house, and the name of the structure - so buying a house became "purchasing a home" etc. No offense if you say these things, I do too! "Cold brew coffee" was a recent one - you'll see a company refer to something in a new, different, or even weird or awkward way, and the next thing you know, everyone's saying it like it's legit. It happens with corporate speak and business jargon, too. We're buying right into it, people! You marketers get off my lawn! I have to go huddle with my team now and build some value over a nice glass of cold brew.

Crisp and it's counterpart muddy. I get these thrown at me at work a great deal, and I can't stand the person saying them, so I've grown to hate them.
"I could have told you that" is another one, if you knew, why didn't you tell me!

I've kept a list of trendy words my kids use. I wish I'd done a better job of tracking the years when I first started. Last week I was reviewing it and said PWNd in a conversation. They laughed- and moaned. RIP!! ( January 2015)

"Made from scratch" I just hate that saying. It sounds gross to me, like someone scratched together the ingredients with their nails.
"Nom nom" if it is someone under the age of 5 saying it, it is OK, but adults? Just no.

"Littles" in reference to children. Logically, I know it shouldn't even ping my radar but hearing/reading that word pisses me the hell off.
I fully accept that this admission may finally earn me my "Crotchety Old Lady" status. Is there a medal? Or a badge?

Suppos-a-bleee instead of supposedly. Sounds like a toddler who can't manage the hard D sound and it drives me nuts. And I agree with moodyblue, I seen it or I done it. Good lord! Nails on a chalkboard.

"I seen it" and "what I done is..." are both hick phrases my dad uses that make me want to kill somebody.
"My bad" and "nom nom" also bug me.

I wish I had time to . . .
I think that phase is demeaning. I believe we all make time to do what it is important to us.

I hate "my bad" - I had a student last year who would say that when he did something he shouldn't have. I told him it wasn't an acceptable response, and not truly an apology (especially with the flippant way he said it!).

I fully accept that this admission may finally earn me my "Crotchety Old Lady" status. Is there a medal? Or a badge? My grandmothers both used the word 'littles' to refer to ladies' underwear items. My father's mother used to get angry at her husband(after he retired) because he would sit in the kitchen on laundry day so he could watch the lady next door hang out her littles to dry.

When people say "eXpresso" or "eXpecially" instead of espresso or especially. Even worse when I hear a news anchor or reporter say it.
I also dislike the combining of 2 words/names into 1.
Not a fan of "totes" or "adorbs" and when they are put together - "totes adorbs" - I kind of want to punch someone.

'Long story short' - especially when you know it won't be.
'Can I ask you a question' - um you just did.

It annoys me when people start almost every sentence with the word "so." I hear this all the time now when people are being interviewed on the radio or television.
The interviewer asks "What inspired you to write this book about the history of the Grand Canyon?
The interviewee responds, "So when I was ten, my grandparents took me to the Grand Canyon. . . . "
It seems to me "so" is the new "you know." It's something that people say when they are nervous. It has no meaning and doesn't add anything to the conversation.
