2013’s Most Annoying Word
According to an annual poll put out by Marist Polling, the most annoying word or phrase of the year (for a record fifth year in a row) was the word "whatever." And I'm pretty sure every word in the top five was ALSO said in the movie “Clueless”. Here they are.
1. "Whatever" . . . 38% of us find it annoying, compared to 32% last year.
2. "Like" . . . 22%.
3. "You know" . . . 18%.
4. "Just sayin'" . . . 14%.
5. "Obviously" . . . which annoys 6% of people, and was the only NEW phrase to make the list this year. (Last year, number five was "Twitterverse".)
