Subject: Overused Words to the Point of Being Meaningless

iconic

Cardi B is iconic to lots of younguns 

Isn’t it iconic.  Don’t you think. 

Literally

It's a game changer

Cardi B's new album is literally a game changer

Cardi B is iconic 

Web search that⬆️ to see just how iconic she really is. But to old farts not into rap, she's meaningless. Say hello to the new tomorrow. She could be president some day. 

Literally. 

"Draconian".  If you know, you know.  Ya know?

public indecency 

What does that even mean anymore?

zaftig

If I hear zaftig one more time I'm literally going to die

I know right 

I had never ever heard of zaftig.  Are you guys just kidding around or is that really a word in use.

(Sorry in advance if I’m being obtuse.)

It's as much in use as the 2 before it.

Here's a serious one⬇️

Legendary

BTW I despise "I know right"

This is all super good stuff.

At the end of the day, if you never missed an opportunity to insult your enemies, it’s been a good run. 

No worries

Lol. The troll is triggered. 

“triggered”. Excellent call! Overused, misused, meaningless. 

I know, right? 

Do you all have an agent?  I smell a successful stand-up routine going on tour

I don't need a useless and boring partner, kind of like Tina Turner or Cher 

No Worries

"Would you like to sign up for our rewards program ?"

No

"No worries"

And when did Dumpster Fire replace Trainwreck

Awesome 

Hottest

Narcissist 

Resilience

Random

"Oh, just some random guy I had for breakfast".

“… with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”

Mmm - Hannibalism.

I know a woman who is probably still using "I heard that" 

crisis

Something should have been done (long ago), so that it (whatever) didn't become a "crisis", imo!

I prefer the medical usage -- a turning point in a recovery process.

Shit. Shit is everything, therefore shit doesn't mean shit anymore.

Hence why.

"I've always had a good command of English, hence why I majored in linguistics."

and nor

refute (look that one up)

Unique.
"This guy is one of the most unique hosts in the history of game shows."

"John has a unique talent to do this."

"Sally is unique in that she......[whatever]."

That's a great example, as it's actually rarely "literally" true.

I'd suggest it could never be 'literally' true, but then I'm an unqualified pedant.

Please

Thank You 

oops I thought this was the Words That Are Disappearing from the Language Thread

Literally

Magical 

With all due respect, is this discussion really going anywhere? No actually, the phrase "with all due respect" seems to be pretty overused and it usually precedes something that is totally disrespectful.

MrFixit

That's because they are only giving them all the respect that think they owe them. 

So, ..............................

[Departure from the 'school of antiquity' guidelines: "You cannot start a sentence with 'because', because 'because' is a conjunction".]

You should not start a sentence with 'because', because 'so' is so much better at causing earache.
(Semantics doesn't come into it - no-one knows what that means anyway.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... anyway.

"What does that mean, anyway?"

It's unprecedented that unprecedented hasn't been mentioned in this thread.

Yes! Literally. 

Because of unprecedented demand a 200th show in the Australian Outback has been added to Taylor Swift's

"No Dollar Left Behind Tour." " With all due respect to The Beatles or Rolling Stones Taylor's popularity is unprecedented. We've literally never seen a unique talent like this" said a Taylor spokesman . A Taylor fan who had been waiting in line since midnight for tickets was asked if she was concerned about Australia's 100 degree summers.

" I heard it was hot but no worries."

Because of her iconic and legendary status

Per se
