Steevo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 "Languages are some of human being's greatest creations. These sophisticated systems of communications that were developed over thousands of years in thousands of different communities around the world are a testament to the ability of the Homo sapiens' brain. So why, with all of our linguistic prowess and vocabulary variety, do we have to use words far more than they were intended? The English language is full of these, and much to our chagrin they’re prevalent and not going anywhere. So, here is a list of today’s 10 most overused words that make your ears burn every time you hear them". 10.Love/Hate 9. Literally (guilty)8. Ridiculous 7. Awesome (guilty)6. Whatever (guilty)5. Bitch4. Seriously3. Gay2. Nice1. Like Honourable Mention: LOL (guilty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Awesome and Epic are #1 and #2 in my book... Also "yes" in my house by my daughter. If someone falls down on tv, "YEEEEESSSSS" - she uses it way too much... and before any of you sick bastards say anything... she's 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Diverse/diversity. Any time someone is describing a group they have membership in (a church, fraternity, wine fanciers, whatever), they always say, "We're a really diverse group!" 9 time out of 10, it's not true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Those are the three most overused words. Do you know the three most common lies? 1.) I love you.2.) The check is in the mail.3.) No, I won't c@m in your mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Proactive. Dumbest "corporate speak" word ever invented. "In favor of action" means nothing. They use it to mean taking preemptive action, which is different. In any event, I hear that word at least 10 times every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
