Overused words to ban in 2017

Quite frankly

Seriously


Curated. Artisanal. Carefully. Literally. Basically.

Quite Frankly, to be honest, seriously, when used, implies that you weren't honest, frank or serious in your prior communication.


Libtard (whatever the hell that means, but I know the intent)


"Literally" literally no longer means "literally."

Amazing. Lightweight. Tremendous. Eatery...

and I completely agree with ML1 on "Bespoke"



The words "great" and "again" ion the same sentence.


"Having a moment"

"Curated," unless it relates to a museum exhibit

"Awesome," which no longer means anything

I think "amazing" is replacing "awesome."


I'm pretty sure there are still going to be legitimate uses for those words

When meant as literally, it can stay. When meant as figuratively, it needs to go. If you say "I laughed so hard I literally pissed my pants" you'd better be sitting there in pee soaked pants.
