Most overused word?

[furb & dez]

Venting

This, and "prayers". They are both either whining or attention-"seeking". (usually BOTH)

 

[Monte Cristo]

This

Mine is more when someone has their child’s disabilities next to their name in the signature. That is just way too much and seems more of an attention seeking act more than anything.

 

[Sanchez]

Definitely (or in DIS speak: definately, defanatly, defiantly, defanitely)

I have to agree with amazing. It is the most overused word (lately) I've ever heard in my life.

Everything is "amazing"...the word kind of lost its "umph" when every experience in your life is now "amazing".

For example "We went on vacation and ate at an AMAZING restaurant,went on an AMAZING boat ride, and stayed at a 5 star hotel which was also AMAZING".

What I read into a statement like that is "you had a typical vacation, maybe had some more than average food at one meal and by the way went on a boat ride".

To me, amazing equates to completely out of the ordinary...to EVERYONE, not just you.

My SIL and her husband say that word at least 50 times a day!! It is so annoying that I want to punch them both. I could tell them that my son ate cat poop and then danced a jig and they would both be like OMG that is Amazing!!

More than a word, but:
"Can someone forward the link to the Mousesavers secret code?"
"Is ____ worth it?"
"Split stay"
(when addressing me) You're wrong

 

[Disney Doll]

Like.

I mean, like, most people can't complete a sentence without saying "like" like 42 times.

Mine would be "+1", or "where's the like button". This is not Facebook or twitter or wherever the heck that comes from. Please keep it there.

As for definitely, I can not spell that word to save my life! I can see how people spell it wrong. All I can say is thank goodness for spell check.

I only recently figured out how to spell definitely. The way I do it is that I know the E comes first, then it is I, I, then E. So it's eiie. Works for me.

 

[mrodgers]

Not the word, but the definition of the word, or as it's used here, the wrong definition.

On the Budget board, "budget".

Budget does not mean spending as little as humanly possible, or being broke, or being as much of a cheapskate as possible. Budget simply is setting aside an allocation of something, whether money or time or something else.

The recent comments "I can't believe people are saying they spend $1000 on Christmas, and this is on the Budget Board?" definitely comes to mind (sorry, I said definitely, which has been mentioned as an overused word, but I did spell it correctly )

I would say that 99% of the Budget Board content is wrong for a board titled as "Budget..."

 

[Handbag Lady]

Not so much around here, but in my work place:


vet and vetting


It is like {ha, see what I did there} this is a new word and everyone here is using it for the first time.

YES, YES, YES.

95% of the content on the Budget Board should read: "How can I XXXX cheaply?" or "I'm cheap and want to know if the quality of XXXX is even too cheap for me" or "how can I find cheap knock-offs for my brand-obsessed kids who should be getting a smack in the face rather than presents" or "I can barely afford my lavish vacation trip that I probably shouldn't go on at all, but I *deserve* it, and now I will ask for ways to be cheap while being expensive."

EDIT: Maybe we can petition to give the Budget Board a subtitle: "Cheaper than a million flocks of birds flying over Kmart, Big Lots, and Walmart". LOL

This is great mnemonic! I'm stealing it to teach my students!
