"Safe home" has become a popular phrase over the past few years. It's apparently shorthand for "Get home safely". It's well-meant, I suppose, but I find it annoying.
The overuse of the following words are very annoying. I wouldn't say the use of these words drives me nuts, but if a large meteorite zeroes in on the perpetrator and obliterates his existence, pounding him unmercifully into the ground through to the Earth's outer core, let's just say that I wouldn't mind.

Add these phrases too:
know what I'm sayin?
you feel me?
I feel you
I hear you
Bring it
It's going down
You ain't down

I have hated the word cool for so long, it always reminds me of the high-school herd lemming mentality, everyone trying desperately to look like they don't care.
On you tube, the "hey guys" introduction. It assumes a familarity that isn't there and is phoney.
Real. Keeping it real. Real, real real. Ironically, many people who use this word are not very real. It's become another one of those overused words that has lost its meaning.
And anyone talking like a thug.

Reason: error
I can't stand "developmentally disabled". What was wrong with "mentally retarded"?

The problem with "mentally retarded" is that it got mutated by insensitive clods into the pejorative label, "retard," and if you don't see why that was unnecessarily hurtful, I can't help you with that.
A phrase: " I know, but...". People say it so quickly when someone is talking, it's as if they're not really listening. It usually means: "I don't care what you said, but I'm saying this so you'll shut up and let me talk".
All words with the first syllable spelled as "pre-" that are commonly pronounced as "per-" as in prerequisite.
