    pimple
    roach
    creamy
    rusty
    crusty
    mole
    c*nt
    starvation
    deficit (as in, "You need a calorie deficit to lose weight." - I hate when people say this over and over because it's such common sense.)

    ...okay, maybe it's the actual things I hate more than the word.

    Om nom nom. That winds me up no end.

    "Egg whites" - Just eat the whole egg damnit!

    "Eat back your calories" - it just sounds clunky to me, but I can't think of another phrase which describes it better.

    LOOSE, when it's supposed to be "LOSE!"

    YES! This makes my eye get all twitchy.

    I honestly don't care about spelling, grammar or abbreviated words used on the internet or text, as long as its all in fun and not important. It really cracks me up how much people complain about it.

    Now, I cringe when I hear............

    "Take the stairs instead of the elevator" and "park far away from the door"......really, if I hear this advice ONE more time, I'm going to scream.

    Now for a few words I don't like....

    *kitten*
    zinc instead of sink
    c*nt
    dink when referring to a penis
    bra


    Okay, back to my "lifestyle change", yes, that is annoying me lately as well.

    I feel the need to add:

    "It is what it is." Yeah, what else would it be?
    Pocketbook
    Panties
    Brooch
    Slacks

    And I have to agree with whomever mentioned "Dr. Oz". When is he going off the air?

    I cant stand "bucket list"----it drives me nuts!! I agree with you on lifestyle change, but I love the term dink!!!

    Ps. Please excuse the punctuation. Cant stand typing on a tablet!

    Folks who said adorbs, nosh, om nom nom, and clean were right on.

    I'm also baffled by people with excess weight claiming "I can't eat 1200"
    (How did we get here?)

    I also love when "just sayin'" is used as an unconditional pardon for whatever horrid thing has just come out of your mouth.
    Who needs a filter when you have "just sayin' ".

    Last but not least, I love it when people constantly replace sugar with other forms of... sugar

    Most over-used expression of agreement with the post immediately preceding: "^^^ This!"

    "Put on my big girl panties"
    "Yea" or "yeah" instead of "yay."
    "Cudos" for "kudos."
    "detoxinate"

    People not using spell check!

    Here's another one: "Myth". When someone holds an opinion contrary to yours, simply declare it a "myth".
