The 4 syllable “absolutely” when a simple “yes” will do.

Some of those are okay, but others should be accompanied by a fine.

How about "price point"?

The most overused words that I heard in 2021 were,"No..you are not going to buy any more camera stuff..!!"

“No problem” in place of “thank you”. Starting a sentence with “so”.

I simply hate “abundance of caution.”

1. People who insert the word "right" in the middle of sentences, as in "blah blah blah, right? blah blah blah."
2. Replacing a verb such as "look" or "taste" or "try" with "Have a taste" or "Take a look" or "Give it a try." Why not simply say "try it," or "look at it" or "taste it?"
3. And don't get me started on overused and meaningless hand gestures. People who use their hand to emphasize every word they emphasize, as if we aren't "taking a listen" to what they're sayin'. So certain politicians are incredibly good at this, right?
4. "Don't get me started."
