This phenomenon really came on during "Seinfeld"'s run: "sponge-worthy", "yadda yadda yadda", "hellooooooooo", et cetera, and has only gotten worse since. We as a society suffer from a severe, ongoing catchphrase deficiency, apparently. "Chillaxin'" needs to go simply because of its extraordinarily high stupidity factor. And people are STILL using that damned Snoop Dogg version of Pig Latin, adding "-izzle" at the end of everythizzle. Enough already. I have to say, though, that "douchebag" is still high on my usage list. It IS rather disgusting, but I think that's the main appeal of its functionality. For me, anyway. But then, I can be a douchebag sometimes. I also hate the word "dude" getting thrown around like it does any more, as well as how people use it as an entire sentence based on how they pronounce it. GREETINGS: "Dude." (goofy handshake and man hug ensues- and don't get me started on the man hug) SURPRISE/BEWILDERMENT: "Dude??!" DISGUST/DISAPPOINTMENT: "Duuuuude..." and so on. Right now I have to say my biggest pet peeve in this particular arena has to be the aforementioned "REALLY?!" Holy crap, that drives me nuts. Really. I’m pretty much automatically, immediately fed up with any expression du jour that one person says on TV or in a movie and then suddenly EVERYONE is repeating ad nauseum.

“Chillaxin’” needs to go simply because of its extraordinarily high stupidity factor. And people are STILL using that damned Snoop Dogg version of Pig Latin, adding “-izzle” at the end of everythizzle. Enough already.

GREETINGS: “Dude.” (goofy handshake and man hug ensues- and don’t get me started on the man hug)
SURPRISE/BEWILDERMENT: “Dude??!”
DISGUST/DISAPPOINTMENT: “Duuuuude…” and so on.

Right now I have to say my biggest pet peeve in this particular arena has to be the aforementioned “REALLY?!” Holy crap, that drives me nuts.

Really.

Not shocked anymore! 2) Baggy pants, really? It's been 20 years! Normally we see the inner city style change when the suburban kids are mocking. But, to stay on topic 3) "I was like," "He was like," and "we were like" have all got to go! That's my point! Peace Out, B&%$+#s!

Douchebag. Both of them are disgusting, and I have been appalled at how easily they're tossed around in public and on TV. Douche. Douchebag.
