Seriously?
Really?
OVERUSED words are annoying. Then again, if this stuff is our biggest problem today we're having a pretty decent day.

I don't mind teenager slang. When TEENAGERS use it, that is. It drives me batty when grown adults talk like teenagers. I kind of expect my teen daughter to say "adorbs." I don't expect 40 and 50 year olds to say it.
The words that drive me the most bonkers are things like "sammy" instead of sandwich, or really any word that is a cutesy version of a normal word. Sometimes, it's not even a matter of shortening a word--Sammy has the same number of syllables as sandwich.
My other pet peeve is "like" used 10 times in a sentence. That one just about sends me over the edge, even in my teenager. |

I, too, have been noticing the frequent use of "So" to start a sentence. Please, make it stop! So, what you're saying is I shouldn't use so to start every sentence? I live in a part of Ireland where a lot of people use so at the end of a sentence and I find myself always waiting for the rest of it. Like going in a shop and being told the total I owe is 12 euros so... Interesting. I live in the upper Midwest and it's very common here for people to end a sentence with " 'n so"... From the way it's used, I'm guessing it's short for "isn't that so". |

I hate it when someone says, "I gave it 110%".  I also hate "Sammy" for sandwich. I hear a lot of teenage slang from my kids. Most of it cracks me up. My son referred to someone as a "gutter punk" that was the first time I had heard that one!  I am guilty of using "amazeballs". I love it and will continue to use it!  |

Criss Cross Applesauce (we always just said sit indian style!) We were told in college not to say Indian style-in the 80's. I always said cross legged. I thought Criss Cross Applesauce was goofy for 10-12 year olds. |

I call my cat Boo--but I started about 14 years ago. It started because, for some reason, I told her she was a Stinky Baboo. (She never smelled, and I'm not even sure where that came from.) So, she's since been called Stink, Stinky, and finally the Baboo was just shortened to Boo, and she then became Boo Bear. Her name is Bailey, but I think we call her Boo more than anything else. This all sounds so strange!
I hate bae. Baby Daddy.
And words spelled wrong on purpose.

LIKE I hate it I hate it. I work in a tattoo shop and omg these kids use it as a freaking filler. They call up the shop and a normal conversation that should take 45 secs turns into an 8 min conversation because these nitwitts have to say like well I like really want to like get my nose pierced but like I like just don't blah blah blah    . The guys can always tell when it is happening because I starting counting how many times they use it. 27 is the record so far. Andrea |

I, too, have been noticing the frequent use of "So" to start a sentence. Please, make it stop! When my daughter begins her sentences with "So mom?" I know immediately that she wants money.  She rarely ask for money especially when she should, a freshman in college, so I just brace myself when I hear it. |

A lot that you all have mentioned are on my "hated words" list! Whenever I hear or read a word I can't stand, I want to write it down so I have it when we have a thread like this. Of course I still haven't made a list!
A lot of the words you all listed I have never heard before.
Littles/bigs, makes me cringe! I also can't stand hearing adults talk like toddlers or teens. Mostly women, I hardly ever hear men doing that.

on yesterday, on today, on tomorrow. Getting so sick of hearing people add 'on' to words that do not need it. I don't get this. How is it used in a sentence? |

In my area, many people have started saying "I'm going to the store on tomorrow," or "She had a doctor appointment on yesterday." It makes me crazy! |

Adult / adulting as verb/adverb I HATE this. I see it a lot lately too. I guess it's supposed to be cute? Cray-cray. Especially adults saying it. Most adults that uses teen slang sound like idiots. It's embarrassing. Hashtag whatever. My family say this all the time to make me want to scream. Quite a few of the other ones listed here apply too. |

This isn't a real word but I hate it when people say they were coversating with someone. I also hate the wrong use of borrow as in she wanted me to borrow her some money. (Instead of loan)
