"Signage"- why can't they just say sign or signs? Adding the extra syllable is just pretentious.
"Don't go there!" or "You had to go there!"- Go where? Shut the fuck up.
I also hate when people type LOL or some putrid variant like ROTFLMFAO. You know they're not really doing that.

The phrase "centered around." The two words are basically contradictory. You either center on something, or you revolve around something.

Even worse than preggers... she has a "baby bump". Utterly abhorrent.

I think it's time for people to stop saying "well played", especially Americans.

"metrics"
"you feel me"
"the wrong side of history"
"empowered"
"fierce"
