Language I Loathe

May I present to you the growing list of buzzwords and meaningless lexicon which I have come to abhor simply for their excessive appearance in popular culture and writing. It's time to put these words and phrases out to pasture because I'm officially calling them cliché and worn-out. If I didn't hear them again for a very long time, that would be just fine with me.

I am not the only one who feels this way:
