I hate when someone says "Kudos!"

There are plenty more, just can't think of any right now.

words I overuse on a daily basis and even on the ledge:

totally
for sure
awesome
I'm like
like (in general)
you know
really (as a question AND an answer)
I mean

and even though this is a little OT, I have a habit of making up words...and in my head they sound right, but they are obviously made up. and of course I can't think of an example right now.

Especially when they mispronounce it, or use it as a plural or false singular.

How does one mispronounce Kudos?? Actually ok - once I was listening to NPR and Robert Siegel said "kuh-doss" I was under the impression it was pronounced "Koo-doze" which is it?

Phrases I hate:

"pro-active."

" I know, right?"

"hella" (unless you're referring to the band)

I'm in agreement with most already posted...add these to them:

"win-win situation"

"surreal"

Sometimes when people call me "Dude" that bothers me, but not always.
