Irritating, over-used, POINTLESS words/phrases

waterwings [Edit] [Delete] 23:57, 3 September '05
Sorry to sound bitter (I'm actually reasonably happy) but the following words/phrases that I've seen on these here boards are..."quite" annoying. To me, at least.

"Legend" - used to describe people like Simon Amstell. Now, granted, Amstell is reasonably amusing for short periods of time, but a legend?! Errrr....NOPE.

"FACT" - in caps lock, with the obligatory fullstop or exclamation mark. Nine times out of time, what is written preceeding that word is NOT factual in any way, shape or form, and is horribly overused by a lot of people.

Any other pseudo-cool/hip over-used words/phrases out there?
