Over used words, to the point of teeth grindīng

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

The new 'in' words for jobs irritate me. (i.e.) a PT Instructor is now a Personal Trainer, and a Manicurist is a Nail Technician.  photo wail_zps70b0748c.gif

 

'At this point in time' I have to log out, as it's my bedtime.

 

 

GOOD

Hugs.  Sorry, but that really annoys me.  You don't go around saying hugs to people in real life.
