I justed used “My Bad” yesterday, in place of “I’m an idiot”.

When did ‘whatever’ become a nine-letter word?

No, to me the most annoying and irritating word is the inappropriate use of “like” as in “I was like...” We were like...” ad nauseam.
If you remomoved the word “like” from the English language, half of the people under the age of 25 in this country would be speechless.

How about the words uttered by collectivists, “forward,” and “progress.” They have so hijacked for so long...

“So” used at the beginning of a sentence. This is used exclusively by well educated liberal government bureaucrats.
To: TexasCajun
Mine is a bunch of words “The truth of the matter”
It’s not the truth it’s the speaker’s opinion. Gutfeld should ban the phrase.

I use “whatever” particularly when some liberal without a valid argument, starts calling me a racist or homophobe. There was a time when I would try to defend myself against such accusations, but I realize now that this is one of their tactics. Under those circumstances, the word “whatever” is appropriate
To: TexasCajun
My own sins include using “basically”, “bottom line”.......and the dreaded, “let me be blunt”.....which is in itself a way of not being blunt.
OMG....now I notice my little “dot.....dot.....dot’s” annoy even me......oh well. More insecurities.
To: TexasCajun
Literally... when used to mean figuratively.
During a football game the announcer said "The Giants have literally shot themselves in the foot..." and I wondered if Plaxico Burress had been picked up by the team.

Misuse of
"begs the question" drives me nuts, too. But, there's no use talking about it anymore as it has now been morphed into a new meaning.
Much of this destruction of language comes from the uneducated schlubs from "J"-school who made their way to the TV screen. I remember back in the 90's when Bill Clinton brought sexual harassment into everyone's living rooms. The traditional pronunciation was - /həˈrasm(ə)nt or, hair-ass-ment. But, one day a doofus on TV thought it would be clever and sophisticated to say "harris-mint" and withing 48 hours every member of the herd was pronouncing it that way.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is a perpetual offender with “obviously”. To the point that people in these parts have begun to refer to him as “Captain Obviously”.
