over-used and misused cliches or slang. especially coming from someone in the AARP age range. i work with a special needs student who asks me every single day (sometime several times a day)... "how you? my response is usually "groovy"! she gets a kick out of it and at least that word BELONGS to my age group! literally... when it's not literally... makes me a bit nuts. overheard HS kids talking about something that happened over a weekend. one said, "I literally died!". before i could stop my self, out comes... "that explains the smell"!
fake accents are irksome, too. i don't think i have a drop of Italian in me, but definitely enjoy the cuisine. i think people sound/look silly when they say "mootzarell" or "gabagool".
