I hate it when somebody is selling something for "just a fraction" of the normal price. 99/100's is just a fraction. And doesn't make it any more appealing.

After my wife explains something to me, or gives me her opinion of something: "Do you know what I mean?"
And her other favourite; 'Irregardless...'
Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

We all have our local language, Dude.
The one educational tidbit which I remember is from Jay Leno a few years back. It may apply here......"In 1958, eighth graders had a vocabulary of 25,000 words, now it is 10,000 words"
In other words, I think he was saying we are getting dumber. No offense, just sayin'.

"Awesome" There are few things that should inspire someone to invoke this adjective. Yet it is used to modify every feeling AND noun in the book. Overuse to the point of extinction of meaning!

That seems kinda un-blessed.

Someone else mentioned "iconic". Our local TV people use this term every night and I assure you, they have no idea what it means.
I am also annoyed by "Breaking News", which isn't.

"Dude", when used by someone much younger. Especially when they're being corrected for inappropriate behavior at school, Church, etc.
Teen: "Dude, give me back my phone."

Actually. As if to say everything else was not correct.
Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.

This is one of the most entertaining threads in a while. Twelve of us could probably all sit at a table, give our "most hated" expression and I'd be willing to be that at least half the other people use it all the time, and vice versa.

"But wait"! Why can't they just say ..Wait? And "New and improved"! How can something be both "new" and "improved"?

"We'll beat the lowest price you can find by 10% or it's FREE!!!!"
