    For what it's worth, I really don't mind "it is what it is". For me, it's always worked to express a combination of both finality and limited significance. (It is not going to change. There is nothing more to it that what you see. And don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. A molehill is a molehill.) Although I do suppose that the key is using it in an appropriate situation where one may be tempted to make a mountain out of that molehill or to try and find that there's something more to it.

    i think a lot of times it is the over use and the misuse of phrases that lead to disliking a phrase. I know my distaste for "it is what it is" can be directly connected to when i actually listened to Mike & Mike on ESPN radio on my drive to work. Mike Greenberg killed that phrase for me.

    "Fustrated" (hello, there's another "r" in there)

    don't forget "Flustrated" - the flustered/frustrated combo.

    "No Problem"

    When someone says "Thank You" the appropriate response is "You Are Welcome", the inappropriate response is "No Problem". When someone asks for something... "Will you hand me the Bryers All Natural Double Fudge Ice Cream Gallon Canister" the appropriate response is "Yes", or "Certainly", or even "Um, I think you need to reconsider that choice fat *kitten*", the inappropriate response is "No Problem". I am not exactly sure when "No Problem" became a suitable replacement for polite responses, but it does irk me just a bit.

    i am guilty of this. i am trying to be more mindful, because i don't want people to think i am dismissing their thanks, but I have used it to let someone know that i didn't mind doing them a favor and it didn't put me out.

    "If she [...], she wants the D."

    "Hun" or "Honey" (because girls use it to be condescending).

    "Just sayin'."

    "YOLO"

    "No offence, but... [catty unnecessary opinion on something you do or like]."

    "Cray-cray."

    I hate the word "retarded" because it upsets me.

    I also hate "totes" "cray cray" and "baby" (when calling significant other baby)

    What's wrong with zombies? Other than their flesh eating tendencies, of course...

    "cos" in place of because... something that looks like it rhymes with boss can't possibly stand for cause.

    "YOLO"

    1. It's stupid.
    2. It's constantly used as an excuse to do stupid things.
    3. It's hardly ever used correctly.
    4. It's stupid.

    Used incorrectly: I just worked out without stretching first! YOLO.
    How it should be used: I always put on my seatbelt when I get in the car. YOLO.

    ... And using "seen" instead of "saw." You didn't seen anything. But you sound like you've never seen an English class.
    Yes! I have too many friends that do this. I correct them every time and they still do not get it!

    I agree on "cray cray" -- super annoying!

    "totes": really annoying. Just say the whole damn word!

    I think some people just try to be cute but they over-use abbreviations and they just end up sounding uneducated! I shouldn't have to google your status to know what you're trying to say. And if I have to do too much reading, I'll probably just unfriend. Haha!

    That is so ( insert derogitory word) queer, *kitten*, gay and of course phat! and finally the statement ( That sucks!)

    especially when used by straight people.

    Really I don't know (that sucks) is a bad statement most guys I know are really into them.
