Things to do away with: words edition

Every year it seems there are certain phrases and words that rise to the top of our cultural consciousness. They are created or used in a variety of ways: viral videos, marketing agencies, celebrities etc...  Sometimes these phrase or words should be retired. So for your perusal today here is a short list of things that I believe should be retired as soon as possible.

Best ___________  Ever

This is used so often I wonder how can there be so many best evers?
 

Just sayin

This phrase really mean "I'm being really rude, but want to have a back door strategy in case your feeling are hurt."


Bucket list

I say just live life. Having a list like this leans toward self-centeredness which usually is a bad thing.


So...

When you end your sentence with this word it leaves so much to the listeners imagination. I try not to use it so....


Awesome

This is a word that is supposed to describe something majestic or awe inspiring. When you get back from dinner at Red Lobster and someone asks how it was your response shouldn't be "awesome".

Ni***r

The all offensive N word. I don't care who you are this is a word that should just stop being used period. There is a time that it was used and that time is long gone.


What words or phrases do you think should go away??
