Leverage as a verb, particularly when used by a coworker who doesn't understand what the word means. It is NOT just a fancy substitute for the word "use" and you don't sound smarter by misusing it!

Couldn't agree more about use of the word "retard" as a noun. Makes the user sound like an idiot and lowers my opinion of him/her almost instantaneously.

long story short-- always used after someone has gone on and on with too many details

I'm growing to hate "literally" when used for emphasis, which is most of the time that I hear it. You did not literally die when you found out that exciting news, okay? Nor are you literally going to fall out of your chair if you're still sitting in it. Rob Lowe's character on Parks & Rec does a good job of parodying this one.

Also hate preggers or preggo. I hate the word "veggies" too.

And people who say "shut up" when you say something surprising--like when they use it replace "really?" or "wow". I would rather them use to really mean shut up.
