Over used words, to the point of teeth grindīng

[fiestas*girl]

my pet hates in over used words

heading up the top of my list is

journey - chronically overused, think talent shows and fake acceptance speeches

like - current habit seems to be to answer a question using this word at the beginning of the sentence, think talent shows or 2 bit celebs

apropos - habitually used by those who try to sound intelectual or politically savvy

what are words that you feel are overused to the point of cliche, or just plain old tired

"heavy lifting"

Joe Hockey is using it with gay abandon lately, maybe it's just him saying it that pushes my buttons.

"Push my buttons" - ridiculous expression.  Hey, I'm on a roll here !

"On a roll" - say what ???
