Where I live people say "Floss". I don't know if this is a usual thing, or something that's going around our small town but its super annoying. Such as, "Dude, that is so floss!" Floss= awesome.

One that annoys my mom a lot is "I know, Right?"

I don't understand why she's annoyed by it.

I would say that 'Like' for every other word is one of mine, along with 'freeken' or 'sooo...' those are my top three, but with the 'Soooo.....' I use it when I am bored and want to start conversing.

I've picked up on certain phrases that people around me use and they can get annoying sometimes. Like a guy in my church says "I was gonna say" A LOT, but he slurrs it all together, so that gets annoying. Then my friend says "Best.Thing.Ever." A lot and I don't find that annoying. It's just something that I've noticed she says quite a bit. Then another guy at my church says "Warsh" instead of "Wash" or "Squarsh" instead of "Squash" And I also pick up on how people with accents say certain words, so I'm really good with picking up on how people say things and can imitate them quite well. :mrgreen:

Wow, I'm surprised no one has said YOLO yet... That can get annoying after people say that after every thing that they say. After someone says YOLO, I like to say YODO (You Only Die Once) because of Blimey Cow.

I use the word "ain't", but only when I slip into the Southern accent that I typically keep low-key.

What drives me crazy is when people will sound like they're avoiding ending a sentence on a preposition, but then end the sentence on the same preposition they were avoiding. For example, "for what the device was designed for". Either avoid ending the sentence on a preposition or don't.
it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
