The Banned Wagon

22 words/expressions I could happily live out the rest of my life without ever hearing again:

Baby bump
Darl'
Tradie
Quick-sticks
Awesome, Totally, Saying something 'rocks'
Tiny-tot, Kiddies
Go-getter, Sales 'Hunter', '(Top) Gun' salesman
"The (insert event here) that stops/stopped a nation"
'Gangsta', 'Ho', 'Bro'
Gripping, Heart-stopping/wrenching/breaking, Breath-taking
"My/Our heart(s) go out to..."
Maximise
'Party' ~ when used as a verb


Feel free to add to the list... I probably will.

Edit: And indeed I have: Saying something is 'the/'da' bomb'
Excellent ~ unless said in a Mr Burns-style voice
'Shit-faced', 'maggoted'
"Cheer up, it might never happen!"

Further edit: "So I turned around & said..."
"And I'm like... so he/she's like..."

...what the hell is that about?

Awesome, Totally ... whoops, sorry. :p Sometimes I find myself overusing those two words and oh man, some severe editing of posts is then applied. It's something about the rhythm of 'totally' that I find so compelling and the gorgeous vowel sound of 'awesome'. *sigh* Bad me, bad! *slaps own wrist*

So what do you overuse? *curious*

In speech, I'm not sure... or I'm not immediately aware of any words I overuse, but I'll get back to you.

When writing, I often have to remove/replace the word 'just' from lots of sentences. Could be interesting to see if I say it a lot too...

Awesome dude!

Ha ha ha...

Funny how a lot of these words and phrases were frequently spoken by an ex band member!

You like totally rock dude LOL.

Okay Fine. For Sure, For Sure

Coincidence... I swear. And even so, I wasn't a fan of those words/phrases before his tenure, during it & after it... so it's all good ~ which is another one I hate!!!

Incidentally, isn't writing "Ha ha ha" & then "LOL" a tautology?

Speaking of which, I also hate it when acronyms become verbs. I read somewhere recently that someone was told a joke & they LOLed... AARRGGHH!!

Yours ROFLMAOly
