Lit. Not tonight. Whoop (just creepy weird). As if. Pretty much all of Tim Brewster’s tweets.

The incorrect obscenely over used "literally".

"It literally blew my mind"

Was your brain somehow exposed to wind? Or..  are you a full cybernetic built upon a human frame after you mind was blown?

"I literally flew to the store"

Did you sprout wings? Take your own personal helicopter to a store? Where did you land? Do you have a Jetsons car?

Bothers me too. Even worse is "literally" now means literally and figuratively

Literally.

Methinks. Usually incorporated into some of the most idiotic shit that I’ve ever heard.

“Methinks that a black jersey would be a really sweet alternate for one game a year.”

Fuck off you limey poser dipshit.

[Mole 4330]

Nonplussed - there's nothing wrong with the word itself, but since it's become an antonym of itself, I don't know what anyone means when they use it anymore.

Price point - I get that there's a narrow use where it's different than price, but 99.9% of the time there's no difference.

Do life with - This one shows up in certain Christian circles and is maddening.

I literally hate it when people say literally

“Step foot” is the closet to, if not the most ridiculous phrase anyone can type/write.

You don’t step with anything besides your feet so you are either totally ignorant or just trying to be wordy, which makes you totally ignorant. No one would say “clap hand” and dolts who “step foot” are simpletons.

What about people walking on their hands?

[SurlyBDR 22764]

Any time a customer steps up to my desk, or a call I answer who says:

 

"Hey, I've got a quick question..."

 

Has no intention of having a quick or concise conversation.

Set foot is a perfectly good expression, if a bit colloquial.

[Mole 4330]

I personally don't have much of problem with literally as an intensifier.

The pedantic side of me is bothered by:

Nauseous instead of nauseated

Begs the question instead of raises the question

Very popular word among the soccer moms:  "adulting".

[TexArcher 37761]

I could care less.

Irregardless.

Most forms of verbing: I office from home, etc.

Irony when used incorrectly, which is at least 90% of the time.

“By far one of my favorite...”

How can something simultaneously be ‘by far’ and still in a group with other things?

Very high name to post correlation. On a serious note, amnouncers saying "too tall" when referring to throwing a football.

I'm retarded when it comes to "you want to have your cake and eat it too". 

If I have a delicious piece of cake, of course I want to eat it. Duh!

“It is what it is”

Makes me want to stab someone.

This was my most hated from back in my old corporate days.  Still makes me rage.  "Well it is what it is"  "Well, go fist yourself, alright"

Football coaches/players/announcers that refer to everything relating to football by using the term football.  Football field, football team, National Football League.  Yeah, we know what sport you're talking about.

People saying two thousand eighteen.  It's twenty eighteen.  Did everyone walk around saying nineteen hundred ninety seven?

Man cave

It’s been used hyperbolically for centuries. Literally.

Still makes me cringe. Call it fatty.

"ass, my dude". Stop saying that. It's annoying as fuck (AF for you youngsters)

[jimmyjazz 45881]

The general tendency for sportscasters to latch onto a phrase and drive it into the ground is a special kind of annoying.  "Quarterback room" is the flavor of the day.  A few years ago it was "spin the ball".  Before that, "high point the ball".

All actually have meaning, but the overwhelming follow-the-leader approach to commentary makes me ragey.

In the context of aggy recruiting, and aggy quarterbacks generally, that one is timeless. Tater Tot may never be a great quarterback, but as an aggy wheedler, he shall live forever.

[Player 4575]

Agreed Walden.
