Top Ten Most Misused Words

It's a pet peeve of mine when people do this :
Literally is literally way overused to the point where it literally isn't even funny anymore. I get people literally use it to emphasize something but can you literally stop using the word literally? It's literally annoying.Litterally. - Randomator

Jacksfilms likes making fun of this word... Literally

Cancer is a serious disease people are suffering from. Not a way to describe anything you hate. Jeez, when is the term gonna stop being used to describe anything people hate. - HoldenFanatic

The internet has gone downhill because of morons using diseases for things they hate or description of what they think is awful.

I agree. This can actually be very disrespectful for people who are actually suffering from cancer and those who have to go through losing a loved on from cancer. If I had the ability to vote this many times till it climbs up to number 1, I would gladly do so because people are going too far with the cancer term. - HoldenFanatic

Random means an unbiased and undecided selection out of a few choices. It does NOT mean weird. - Puga

Gay used to mean happy. Not homosexual. Then the word became another word for a homosexual. And now it's just an insult. - RiverClanRocks

Gay is often used to insult someone too in the way its supposed to be used as well. I think that's the real crime. - keycha1n

Okay big misconception here: Over-Rated: means that something has received excessive attention than what one believes it deserves. It does NOT mean something is Bad! - Randomator

This should be number one - yunafreya648

Agree with you guys here. Overrated does not mean bad. - Gg2000

Pokemon is a CHILDREN'S show. Even in Japan, I'm pretty sure they won't have a child (TEN YR OLD) prostitute in it

Idiots, you DON'T want to call/refer yourself as a 'weeaboo'. Just say '______ fan' because that's not what Weeaboo means. You're really just insulting yourself otherwise =/

Yeah, coming out isn't brave. I'd imagine brave as a kid walking into his burning home to save his grandpa.

I feel like people think it means you have no fears... ya'll need no watch the lion king again.Brave means you face YOUR FEARS. aka luigi. Coauage the cowardly dog. They face their fears, even though they are pretty cowardly.

Boy, this is a double whammy, but for anyone wanting to learn Japanese or is learning Japanese, here's a hot take.

The way I've seen it, people use this word to just say "I love this thing! "
It's a complete misuse! If something's iconic, they stand for or represent a general idea. What is it about some obscure artist or likable person on social media that makes them an icon?
