The Top Ten

Oh my gosh, so ANNOYING. I can't have a conversation with anyone with out hearing the word like every other word! It's actually rly distracting.
And I get it. Saying like is a bad habit that's hard to break. I used to constantly say like too, but then I realized how annoying it was to me when other people talked like that. So I cut the habit for the most part. And I encourage the rest of the world to break this habit too!

I went home she was like ugh and I was like oh my god and she's was like my life is so rough like literally like I'm like not joking. This word is the most overused and irritating word because they the word "like" meaning the same thing.

2 Cringe
3 F***

Can't you say you hate someone without cursing?

4 Literally

I mean this is Literally the most overused word. I Literally hear this word every 2 seconds. I Literally wish there was a Literal law banning it. like trump has to litterally do something about it

This should be #2 after the word like.

5 Racist

Unfortunately most people that use this word as a label or insult for the littlest of things don't even know what it actually means. Similar to the word "F***" pretty much.

It is annoying when you are referring to someone's race (like "That black kid wrote it") and then people call you racist. Also, if someone asks you if you like the colors white or black more, people will call you racist if you pick either one.

Whenever I'm done speaking, I'm like "Just please count how many times I said like in that sentence, like" but come on it's natural for humans to say like!

6 Overrated

Everywhere I go in TheTopTens, I see the word Overrated!
I can't go to one single list without seeing this word!

The word "overrated" is overrated.

Especially on TheTopTens everything and everyone is either Overrated or Underrated

7 Actually
8 Awesome

This word is used more than any word I have ever heard..Especially with the rise of Yoga Studios and their clothes. See how long it takes for someone to use this word..I do live in California by the beach if this matters as to the frequency of usuage.

It's very overused, but when thinking of 'limited vocabulary', remember that English if not the mother tongue of every English commenters.

Shows a very limited vocabulary. Listens, or rather absorbs, their children's use/overuse of words.

9 Gay

The correct word for a person who is not heterosexual is HOMOSEXUAL. Gay is a girl's name. It also means "happy".

Why do people use gay and racist so much. It offends me. I'm not a social justice warrior though

Some people use this word as an insult, which is super annoying.

11 Totally
12 Has
13 Retarded

The Hungarian version of the word retard is retardált. Maybe it's like that in a few other languages as well, and their speakers think there's a suffix in English as well.

I hate that word, autistic girl here can you please not use this!'

14 Dude

Every time I watch a YouTube video made by teens:
"Dude, this is like dude so awesome dude come check this out dude! " And I hate it when it's said to me, since I'm a girl not a 'dude'.

15 N***a
16 Homophobe
17 Swag

I don't even know what this means...

18 Bigot
19 Badass

Especially for women this gets used so much and I feel like it is kind of losing meaning.

20 Transphobia

People are making up words for people they disagree with now.

No one is afraid of trans or gay but they like to change what words mean

21 Bro
22 Elitist
23 Hate
24 Epic

Totally overused. I have a list of other words that are so much richer and better! Nonplussed, conjoined, serendipity, admirable, and antidisestablishmentarianism! Epic, awesome, amazing, and cuss words (especially f***) are so overused

The Iliad was an epic. Your new socks aren't.
