    Moist

    My boyfriend and I giggle like teenagers every time someone says this word. He hates it and it truly just sounds weird.

    I would get rid of Swag or Swagger. Those two words make no sense to me.

    "skinny fat" bugs me
    Bad instead of badly, quick instead of quickly, real instead of really, etc
    "I need it real bad." No, you need it really badly.

    Msu spartan- I also get very annoyed with those who don't know the difference between adjectives and adverbs.

    Deprive for one. It gets tossed around way too much. It's only deprivation if you are not getting something you need.

    Good one, I like your explanation.

    I would eliminate (speaking for my own life) "can't". Most of my can'ts are actually won'ts if I am honest with myself.

    OMG yes! This. Can't = choose not too.

    Literally.

    "Dude, I LITERALLY just died laughing!" ... Then what are you doing posting that on facebook? Shouldn't you be in a freezer somewhere?
    "I LITERALLY cannot right now" Then do us all a favor and stop!
    "You are literally the most annoying person ever" Richard Simmons. Your argument is invalid forever always.

    UGH.

    Laugh! Excellent choice.

    epic, I hear it all the time, but never when the situation really is 'epic'

    And "legit"
    As in, "that burrito was legit"
    Well that's nice. Glad it wasn't illegitimate . . .

    And "irregardless"

    Over-use of sports analogies in corporate meetings.

    Example: "We are unable to make a firm decision on how to allocate costs, let's just "punt" for the time being.

    Only two words really grind on me and they are:

    Retard (I don't even like to type it) and any variation of it.
    Hate

    I love to verb the hell out of nouns, DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

    And props to the comment about SUPPOSABLY. Ugh. A friend of mine is 37 years old and still says it, and for some reason, it comes up frequently. I can't think of a time when I would use it more than once a week, but we get together and it's every other word! Arggghh!!

    I can't stand supposably. It almost makes it sound like you just came back from the dentist and the novocaine has yet to wear off.
