    AWESOME. It's far too overused, and often used to describe the most mundane of things that are anything but.

    I hate it when people say "literally" before everything. For example "I was literally fuming...." or " he was literally stood right next to me"

    It reallys annoys me!

    I don't know when this came to be okay to say but I don't like it for some reason:

    When somebody is missing people now say they have GONE missing.
    What ever happened to saying: They ARE missing?

    It sounds like 'missing' is a place! It sounds like 'missing' is now a noun instead of a verb. Strange.

    They have gone: missing.

    They have gone: home.
    They have gone: swimming.
    They have gone: to work.
    They gone: to school.

    You get the idea.

    Extra Ordinary....

    If something is plain, it is ordinary.
    If it is great, it is EXTRAORDINARY.

    Extra ordinary would be really plain....

    "Jelly" In terms of being jealous. Jelly is what goes on toast and completes a peanut butter sandwich, unless you're finishing it with a banana.

    "Can I axe you a question?" First of all, you just did. Second, the correct word is, "ask." Pronunciation is important.

    "You know?"

    "And"...when used to make a speech one long run on sentence.

    "Um" When used excessively, I become so distracted that I *will* count your 'ums' instead of listening to what you're actually saying.

    And it's not really a word or phrase, but when people end every sentence as if they are asking a question also drives me nuts!

    That's all for this episode.

    - FML - This comes off as too negative sometimes, especially when its used OVER and OVER again
    - Kk -- What is that? Say Okay. or even OK... and sometimes people put three Ks ... (wow even scarier lol jk)
    - FTW - Well this one does not really annoy me, but sometimes I feel it get overused especially when something is clearly not 'FTW' lol

    What does FTW mean?

    "My bad."
    This sentence drives me insane, especially when used more than once in a small amount of time.

    "just sayin'..." makes me want to beat the person.
    Correct, I use "just sayin" as a dismissive, so your anger is well placed.
