My current pet-hate is the word 'absolutely' when used as a substitute for 'yes'.#

I also loathe meaningless filler/tag words like 'like' and 'innit'.

I absolutely agree,its meaningless innit ! :D

Like... yeah! :o

(actually the above use of absolutely is okay with agree, it's using it in isolation that grates.)

I dislike the use of the word 'unprecedented' in every other news story. I'm not sure why.
Dislike is not as strong as hate, but I understand, I look to the news media with disdain when they use the phrase "Quantum Leap" to mean major advance when the meaning of quantum is smallest amount of a physical quantity that can exist independently. When correcting someone's misuse of the phrase they look at me as if I had the wrong end of a penguin sticking out of me arm.
...don't like the word 'moist' or 'moisten'. Makes me think of slugs and snails.
Moist is OK for me, nothing bad coming up there - it's all fresh bread and sponges for sticking postage stamps. But 'moisten' is a little too close to 'morsel', it has links to step by step instructions for filling in postal return forms, lick here..... Edited by Cuban

MOIST is great (as in warm and moist) - it has clear sexual connections.

Yes...no doubt about it , the word that gets up my nose most at the moment is ' awesome '....the teenages favourite. Its predecessor ' wicked ' was bad enough. Then we have LOL which is also flogged to death on You Tube, usually in the wrong context:

" My mother just died. Lol, I was upset . " ?? Finally. OMG ranks up there next to Lol. Not exactly words but irritating as hel_l. :o
