'Choked on his/her own vomit'. Gets me every time. The idea that one would choke on someone else's vomit is too grisly to contemplate.

I hate 'it is what it is' because, like Sharla, I think it's such a pointless statement. well- duh; what else would it be? what do you MEAN by that??
I also very much dislike 'literally' because it's way overused, and in most situations, how it's used ends up being totally nonsensical.
one more: I really dislike when people talk about their favorite sports teams in the first person; you know, how someone will say 'we played really good over the weekend!' but they're talking about a pro team... oh, really? you were drafted onto the Patriots? (or whoever)... what're you doing here at the office, then?

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

I also very much dislike 'literally' because it's way overused, and in most situations, how it's used ends up being totally nonsensical. I literally say 'it is what it is' like all the time. My bad I use it when I don't really want to explain myself any further or when I've had enough of a certain topic. I get that it's meaningless but it just slips out sometimes. When we first moved to Ireland I had a problem with the word so. People in Cork add the word so to the end of almost every sentence, in a shop the assistant would say 'that's €8 so' 'would you like a bag so' or 'good morning so'. I was waiting for the rest of the sentence all the time til I realised that was the end of the sentence! It still makes no sense to me to add it to everything but hey I guess it is what it is

I second the 'nom nom' bs. I hate that expression, hate it. I don't need people expressing what eating with you mouth open sounds like.

"Long story short" instead of "to make a long story short" "Let's do THIS" or "You can do THIS" Not sure why but those make me grind my teeth to no end! Obviously, grammatical errors that adults should know better than to make - I seen, I should have WENT Cutesy abbreviations. "My bad" - well of course it is, it's not MY bad!
A friend uses the term littles to refer to her younger children, other than that, I don't like it.

Buggy Supper I seen
They just sound so horrible to my ears. I picture a poor, barefoot, clothed in rags, 90 year old woman in the middle of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. It's 2015. We don't talk like that anymore!
I very, very rarely hear them in person, thankfully.

I must admit I also use 'it is what it is'. To me, it means that there is no point in me fretting over my situation, it makes no change to how things are at present, and are likely to continue to be. Soz!

As I'm reading everyone's responses, I'm noticing a LOT of them bug the crap out of me. I've put myself in my own little hell starting this thread!

I hate 'it is what it is' because it usually means the person is going to do nothing to try to change or improve the situation. My brother used this one all the time to imply that he had no control over things and usually in regard to finances. But there were things he and his wife could have done - budget, stop spending frivolously, actually plan for the future. The other thing that probably bugs me more than it should is people using less and fewer interchangeably. Less if for things that cannot be counted, fewer is for things that can be counted. If there is less water in the pitcher than there should be, fewer people will be served.

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... Use of the word literally reminds me of Ted from the show How I Met Your Mother. In my circle we often quote him when the word literally comes into conversation as someone will correct to say figuratively. We're an odd circle but we quote that show daily.

I hate Totes anything...like totes adorbs. OMG that makes me want to punch myself (since I can't punch the person saying it lol). I'm over epic, best day ever and amazeballs. Also - axe instead of ask, scrimp instead of shrimp, rod iron instead of wrought iron. I'm sure there's more, but they are escaping me at the moment.

"My bad" - completely avoids actually making an apology. "Fur baby" and "Rainbow Bridge". Actually, most euphemisms bug me. Say what you mean, people! "I don't get it", coming from a student who wants to avoid thinking enough to ask an actual question!

okay, since someone said 'Rainbow Bridge' (which I don't really like either), I'll add another one that personally irritates me--
I don't like the phrase 'she passed' or 'he passed' that some people use to refer to someone dying. No offense to anyone who uses it, but I always think 'passed WHAT?' If they died, then say that, or say passed away, at least. (this way of saying it might be a regional thing, I don't know??)

My list includes virtually everything mentioned so far so I won't repeat any.
I'll add: "Viral video." "Went viral." and anything using "viral."
