List the words that you think are overused.

Epic.

I can't stand to hear or read this word as it's almost always used out of context and overused.

This. Epic is also a candidate, though I'll admit I use it quite often.

Epic, like, noob, and awesome all come to mind.

Admittedly, I overuse epic and awesome.

LOL is a very overused word, i hate chatting with friends or texting because they will respond with nothing else but just LOL, that irks me and i promptly leave when someone does that.

when i first heard "douche bag" in 2003 i new this word would become so annoying. its 2011 and "douche bag" has become the favorite word of everyone who is anti-mainstream. "oh he a douche bag" "yea that guy is a douche" its such a wack word. I call a lot of things "wack" but "doche" is just "g@y"

"Legit." and "Random" instantly come to mind, especially since these words are ALWAYS used out of context.

Well, maybe not "random", but "legit" for sure.

"oh he a douche bag" "yea that guy is a douche" its such a wack word. I call a lot of things "wack" but "doche" is just "g@y"playmynutz

I'm not anti-mainstream and I use Douchebag the way it was meant. If you are an A-hole that is doing it just to be doing it is a douchebag. If someone is just an a$$ most of the time, he's a douchebag. I don't use it because someone goes along with everything else. Unless of course they wear an Affliction or Ed Hardy t-shirt. Then you probably are a douchebag. If you wear those and are over the age of 23 and/or you drive a Lexus, you most certainly are a douchebag. (Males only) The female equivalent would be **** but that is another story as there are a million ways this overused word is used. . . Oh and "Whatever" is overused. Whatever. . . And those words that are overused are just G@y But certain people annoy me with the ferocity and gross overuse of a single word. I'm sick of hearing about going "Green." Because everything is "Organic." So g@y Whatever.

"Like" and "epic" are used way to much.

So what you're saying is you want to rub a cake, I'd prefer to eat the cake myself but each to their own :P

Sick of seeing all the Indie kids using 'standard' in the wrong context. "Great night, got wasted. Standard." Really irritates me :P

Also, 'procrastination', people use it to try and sound intelligent or make laziness sound 'cool', which also irritates me; pretentious ****s. XD

I'd like to add 'what-not' to the list. One of the interns at work uses it at an appalling frequency. She might as well replace it with the interjection 'um'.

I have coworkers that use the phrase 'What have you' too much, as a way to end the sentence.
