Nome Sane? (Do you know what I’m saying?) said by young men after every other sentence that they utter.
The current use of the word really? (even though I have to admit that it is very effective, but I’m just so sick of hearing it everywhere.)
The word “juxtoposition” which is over used by artists and art critics and other people that love to throw around $10 words without actually clarifying anything they’ve said. I used to work with a woman who’s typical sentence in a staff meeting would be: “I’d just like to impart the informational systems about the infrastructural mannerisms of the political manifestations with regards to the juxtaposition of the form and generalized specifications of the transformational and requisitional neccesities of the oppositional standards.” This same woman would come to potlucks empty handed and stand over the trash can while scarfing down her overloaded plate of food, then leave without saying Happy Birthday to the person for whom the party was being thrown. Every time I hear the word “juxtaposition” I see her ugly mug.
It’s gone viral. (It’s supposed to mean something positive, but it sounds horrible.)
So and so is “testing” for a job. No he’s not, he’s taking a test to determine if he’s qualified for the job.
Pick your protein (which means, what kind of meat are you using in that recipe?)
No offense, but… (blah blah blah *&%$@#!)
