The misuse of the word "literally".
When someone on this forum posts something and another poster quotes them in agreeance with "THIS".
Words/phrases that make me cringe: like, foodie, furbaby, hubby/hubster/wifey/bae, ratchet, no cap, Yaaaaasss, "So, I did a thing", "It is what it is", "It's all part of God's plan. Everything happens for a reason." Ratchet? I'm lost on that one.

I could care less! Really? That's a killer and makes no sense whatsoever. It is supposed to be "I couldn't care less." The actual phrase is okay and I use it. It means that you don't care one bit. If you say "I could care less" that means you care about whatever you are talking about to some degree.

You also forgot furparents The first time I actually heard it being used I was slightly hung over trying to enjoy some tacos. I wanted to vomit everywhere having to listen to that couple spew those words.

From Dicionary.com: The expression no cap is slang meaning "no lie" or "for real," often used to emphasize someone is not exaggerating about something hard to believe.

I work with about 120 university students on a daily basis (it'll be back to around 230 in a month or so once everything is fully reopened)...I learned that phrase a couple of months ago...My vocabulary has expanded exponentially in the last six years...as has my knowledge of emojis and how they creatively use those....God bless America.

"Very" - just a few examples:
"It happened on the very first play of the game." Was that BEFORE the first play of the game?
"It's the very last door on your left." As opposed to the last door on your left.
"I was the very first person in line." That is in front of the first person in line obviously.
IT HAS A PLACE, BUT GETS USED way TOO OFTEN. Very good point...

Gee, is there a list of words that are okay to use that won't bother anyone? Ah, I hope it was okay to say "Gee"?
