"Nice to see you," instead of "nice to meet you," when I meet a complete stranger.
Ma'am (so insulting and backwards)

"i could care less" - people, it's "I couldn't care less." or, better yet, just don't.

um, it is a word. what bothers me is people who instead use "incent" as if that is a real verb.

"I did the best I could"
It's so defeatist. I take it to mean "that's as hard as I was willing to try."

"Grown-ass", as in "I'm a grown-ass woman". No one I know personally says that, but when I hear it on TV or out in public, it makes me cringe.
I agree with PP on "Kiddos"

"We're pregnant."
The use of "do" in place of another verb. For example,
"We do Thai on Friday nights."
"I don't do Georgetown on the weekends." Ew.
Not an expression but this: "incentivize." Not a word.
