"Guesstimate" *facepalms* Anytime I hear someone say that word, I scream to myself, "You're either guessing or estimating. PICK ONE!"

"Irregardless" My beef with this word is that you can say 'regardless,' which has fewer syllables, and the sentence in question will still make sense (probably more sense).

The phrase "It's over 9000!" 9000 what?! 9000 newtons? 9000 pounds squared? Honestly, that meme has been overused to the point where it is only funny in a few select jokes.

Epic got old for me since...I don't remember exactly, but whenever people use that particular adjective and only that one, it irks me. What's wrong with "awesome" and "incredible"? As for 'epic fail', other phrases could easily work like "You moron." or "What were you thinking?" or even "THAT'S no good."

Something about the word "Chillaxin'" realllllly rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is about it, but it just seems incredibly stupid.

Also, if I ever get famous, I am NEVER going to support the mixture of my name and my significant other's first name into one big, pretentious word.

"Bennifer"
"TomKat"
"Brangelina"

Give me a break ::)

"Chillaxin" is... I have no idea. :P

"Bennifer" and the rest of that nonsense makes me want to hurl. :P

Everythin with -gate tacked on to the end. Waaaay too much of that floating around.

Also, from the news I've heard this winter: snowpocalypse, snowmageddon.
