What’s the Most Annoying Phrase You Hear?

I’ve written a few times about the results of Marist College polls of the most annoying conversational word or phrase – which are really nonwords – to about 1,000 US residents.  Then just the other day I saw the 2022 results of the same poll.  Here’s how they compare:

2011 2014 2022
Whatever Whatever Woke
Like Like Whatever
You know Literally It is what it is
Just sayin Awesome Like
Seriously With all due respect You know

I’m sure they missed some; is there a word or phrase that really gets to you?  If so, please share it in a comment…

Feel free to leave a comment, and please come back – I write and post often!  And if you like what I have to say and how I say it, you’ll probably enjoy my novels as well.  They’re listed below, and you can read more about them on my improved website, designed and built by my son Don, http://www.randolphmase.com.  On my site, you’ll also find excerpts of my books that you can read – please check it out!

    My most annoying phrase is when you tell someone “Thanks you.”, their response is “No problem.”
