In the context of "Wow!", the word "snap".
Or butchering a regular word so that it ends in "izzy".  Like "in the hizzy".  Ugh.
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

FML  short for "F**k my Life"

I hate it when people use this.  It mostly happens on Facebook and I usually remove them from my news feed if it's used more than once.  What a negative thing to say.

I'm beginning to get sick of "Alternative" when applied to music. It's become a way too blanketed term.................

Impact as a verb.   :hatred: :hatred: :hatred:
Issue as it is presently used.

Funny thing, my nickname was "Snap" when I was little. I have no idea why my dad called me that but that was back before he turned out to be an alcoholic loser who decided to leave my mom and I for his own definition of a greener pasture.....

Triumph.
It used to make me think 'motorcycle', but now it just makes me think of an uncouth, unfunny hand puppet, and a deliberately inane Lou Reed Song.

Swag... Not the word itself just the stupid heads who over use it by going, "who needs condoms when you got swag" STOP GIVING SPIDER MAN CANCER!!!
Then I did not just look into the mirror, I looked through the mirror...

So got swag = probably got herpes.  Allright then.

Fail is one of those words the internet has made me hate, especially if somebody is saying something is "full of fail" or "you fail at (blank)." 

Frankly, I'm a very anti-memme/internet slang person anyway.  I gave one of my co-workers a lecture when she said "L-O-L" outloud once.

Solution

This word has fallen into the world of corporate speak.  "We have the perfect staffing solution for your needs". 
Some companies even use it in their names.  "Joe Blow Staffing Solutions".

Whenever I hear the word "solution" I always think of the chemical use: "a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase."

I don't know about words but I hate when somebody says "that" twice in a sentence and it actually counts as proper grammar.

people who say "gob smacked" should be face punched.
