A beret?

This is true.

I hear the words about thirty times a minute.
It is hell.

Also, stupid. THE WORD "STUPID".
It is the description for every noun in the universe.

Also, a person I'm living with just walked in.

Him: Fuck you. You sunuvvabitch. Good night. I'll see you in the morning and you're a good friend for now, but one day I'll kill you.

After that, he went on to some crap about Vampires being killed with American flags.

So, another annoying overused phrase. Everything that comes ouut of his mouth.

Agreeing with the pledge of alleigence. The same for the star spangled banner.

And finally, if anyone here has heard "I love College" by Asher Roth, every lyric in the song, personally. I hear "Do something crazy, and "I love college" twenty times a day.

"Majority Rules". When that phrase gets used obnoxiously, it annoys the hell out of me.

"EPIC WIN" when it's used for the least epic things.

Apparently, anything that's slightly cool is immediately EPIC WIN... No. Let it just be win if it's cool. EPIC win needs to be epic. Same with epic fail. But no, it's used constantly.

I used to get really annoyed when people would say that, but now I compliment their mothers in response to confuse them.
"Your mother is a very respectable and beautiful woman, and your father is a very luck man."

Maybe in moderation they're okay...
But constantly? No.

Epic is very much an over used word, but i find fail hilarious if used correctly.

I hear that a lot also. I wear a fedora so everyone sarcastically says nice hat. or they call me Fedora Kid.

"several" ...sigh... it is supposed to mean 7 of something, but apparantly, accrding to my most of my teachers, it means LOTS OF! so what word are we supposed to use when we need to describe 7 of something... eh? JUST GIVE US OUR WORD BACK! WE LIKE THAT WORD!

The phrase "No Offense, But....." is so overused especially when someone then insults the person.

flat cap. It's cool.

DCM, a fedora is leagues cooler than a flat cap. you rock, Fedora kid

Things like FTW. I never hear something like: "For the lose"

Also when people are like: "Oh my gosh, that was so random."

Sawdee. Where I am, it means sad, upset, angry.

Ex. 'Hah, your pop didn't come out of the machine! SAWDEE!'

The worst is definately I could care less.

It's so annoying because who ever says it is such a dumbass, and doesn't even know how to use a negative.

What the f**k!
People say that all the time, and I'm getting really annoyed.

Where did you get the "seven" thing?

This.

"*insert unfunny coupling motivational poster*"
"omg, that is epic win!"

No. It is not epic win. It sucks eggs.
Also, any popular ghetto rat phrases, such as "bling". Because lavish is apparently a 12th grade vocab word now. ._.

And I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "omgz, that is so kawaii!1" or "kyaa!" among other phrases in which 12-year-old white girls will insert Japanese words or phrases in order to sound like an anime character. This just positively gets under my skin, and I'm glad nobody I know IRL does it or I may just have to poison their lunch.
