Most annoying words

"You know," "whatever" is a really annoying term - "like" "you know." We're "just sayin'." When it comes to the most annoying words or phrases used in conversation, those four top the list in 2012, according to the annual Marist Poll.

"Whatever" headed the list, cited by 32 per cent of adults, and next came "like," which 21 per cent didn't like.

Runners-up included "Twitterverse" and "gotcha'." The results mirrored last year's survey when "whatever" topped the annoying words list for a third straight year. But "seriously," named by 7 per cent last year, dropped off the list entirely - really. Marist questioned 1,246 adults in a US telephone survey.

Results showed differences by age and regions, with people younger than 45 or in the northeast especially annoyed by "like," while "you know" offended more of the 45-and-over set.

Men and women gave similar responses overall, but whites were twice as likely as non-whites to find "you know" irritating. And people under 45 were more than twice as likely as those over 45 to be put off by "just sayin.'"

Wouldn't be a fan of literally when used incorrectly.

A fella on Strictly Come Dancing said the other week that his partner was "literally moving as fast as lightening".

"In the round" is a new one that has crept into political speak.

"And your point is?  "


The most hateful expression of all time!!!!

"No harm to you but...."

[Sandy Hill]

"Shall" as in "we'll have a traffic update now, shall we?" as constantly used by Karen Patterson on Good morning Ulster. Nobody but nobody that I know ever uses that word!

People who confuse Specific and Pacific.

Not tonight I'm tired.

"Personally, I feel myself.." as used by most politicians. Bloody wankers, the whole lot of them.
"We here in this country.." as used by the above.

"Last evening"  when they mean "yesterday evening"
