    I have a love/hate relationship with "mind blown." I never really liked it, but once I was in an elevator with a friend and this guy said something like "My mind was completely blown when I heard that." When we walked out my friend goes, " I wonder who sucked his mind." I can't help but laugh every time I hear that phrase now.

    I'm totally guilty of using at least half of the words/phrases mentioned here. Oh well, guess you can't please everyone!

    Don't know if this counts but working in sales I get the term "you people" thrown around a lot and as soon as i hear it I become livid!

    I here that one all day long. I like to inform the person I am speaking to that I am not aware of a You People currently working here but I would be happy to assist them.

    I love to use the word irregardless. I always love when someone tries to point out that it is not a real word, so I can direct them to the dictionary. It may be archaic, but it is a word. Irregardless of whether they like it or not.

    "Moot" as in "its a moot point"... Then it drives me crazy when people say "mute point" instead.... A lady I used to work with used the expression ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

    My HUSBAND does this ALL the time!

    moist and eventually. I hate both words for some reason. And I also really hate when people say 'wally world' or 'brain fart'. I hear both phrases all the time here!

    I hate the word "yummy". I feel like it should only be used when speaking directly to someone under the age of 5.

    Exactly this! ^^^^

    "Festive;" from September through the end of the year it crops up in every other sentence -- even more so where the author fears stepping on someone's overly sensitive holiday toes. Decorating magazines are the WORST with this. No, sweetheart your home does not look "festive"...it looks like a gang of teenagers vandalized it with gold spray paint.

    Not all *kitten* vibrate. Some hold political office.

    Have you ever heard people say "take for granite"? It's actually "take for granted", but I swear more people say granite which cracks me up... and my mister says "idear" and I have to mimic him every time!

    What's wrong with house decorating?? And what's wrong with being festive?? I don't like people who behave like scrooge, lol. If you hate Christmas, that's alright. But don't rain on my parade! :laugh:
