Overused Words of Late

I am fascinated by words and language.

💬🗣
I wrote in this post about some of my favorite words that aren't in English.

I love different accents when spoken in English and sayings from collection nations.

But there are a few words that have been grating like nails on chalkboard.

Populism

Paradigm shift

Pussy

profiling 

That's a lot of 'P' words!

Fake news - that is two but one rarely hears one without the other these days

surveillance

hack

trump-ing

dynamic

despite Brexit

fashion trend

luxurious

hip

Millenial Instagrammer

algorithm

live press conference

ban

hubris

'So' - when starting a new train of thought or in the beginning of a sentence.  This is like starting a new conversation with - therefore.

I know it is an accepted form of vernacular presently but it still sounds like the beginning of a story that university girls will start with when they recount how they think their professor is hitting on them. Please don't use in professional setting.

Please feel free to vent!
