Words I don't care much for or that drive me nuts:

1. Probably (okay??...so...)

2. Maybe (oh, that's right, get me anxious to not ever know the real answer...Now you got my curiosity up now. So, tell me is it yes or no?? Sheesh!!)

3. I don't know (Well, heck, someone has to know something???)

4. Cuss words (all the swear words really)

5. I guess so (you either do or you don't...GOSH!!)

I totally agree! For some reason, I especially despise it when people say "puter" for computer.

Ugh, I hate this one, too! Especially when retail employees do it. I've noticed lately that when I thank the Starbucks barista for my latte, he says, "No problem." Bleh!

So here's my least favorite phrase: My bad.

"Frustrated", "frustrating". The word has been resurrected somehow. I have NEVER heard it used so much as in the past year or so. Just notice, in every interview, story, etc. Everybody's "frustrated".

"Literally," when overused incorrectly (as it often is). "I literally couldn't believe it." Come on now, that's not true...and you literally know it!

When someone starts sentences with "actually," that really makes me mad!
