Overused Phrases

Overused Phrases

Everybody knows the new words that are part of the new trend, new slang, etc. Everybody has used these at least once or twice whether it was mocking, or just a slip of the tongue. Here are fifteen of the most overused words and phrases.

1. Your mom

I get it is an insult and good comeback, but there is a point where it isn’t funny anymore and it is just annoying. How about instead of “your mom”, use “your dad”.

2. Bro

Does he/she not have a name? Instead of calling everyone “bro”, make nicknames.

3. Cray-Cray

The word itself is childish, and it is old. Nobody should use that word. Just say “crazy”.

4. That’s what she said

It was funny at first, but saying after every sentence makes it unfunny and annoying. “That’s what he said,” would work, too.

5. Oh My God (OMG)

Everybody, and I mean everybody, has said this word. They may have been scared, or maybe it was just a slip of the tongue. It is going to be a word that sticks around, but using it in every sentence makes it annoying. “Oh my gosh,” and it has the same abbreviation.

6. Like

This word is one of the most aggravating words used by teenagers, and they feel the need to use it in every single sentence. “Like” doesn’t have a replacement word. “Like” should be taken out of everyone’s vocabulary unless people are saying things that they are fond of.

7. Dude

Just as bad as bro. Again a nickname would work.

8. Hashtag

There is no need to say it aloud. This is a symbol, not a word.

9. Totes

Just say totally. It isn’t that much longer.

10. Whatever

Just walk away, or change the subject. No need to get sassy. Say I don’t care.

11. Savage

I get people can be “savage”, but it really isn’t that cool anymore. Instead of “savage”, say rebel.

12. For Real

It is like using “same” only worse and more aggravating.  How about using “right” instead.

13. Seriously

Yes seriously,  use “honestly”.

14. Goals

I get it they are cute together. Everybody knows that they are “goals”, so there is no need to say it aloud. “Meant to be” would work instead of “goals”.

15. Salty

Pretzels? How about rude instead of a flavor.

I hope everyone takes the fact that these words and phrases are overused into consideration and make up some new ones. Like for real, bro, constantly saying, “OMG!! That’s what she said!” is overdone, and drives me so cray-cray that I want to get totes salty, every time.
