"I'm all about .... (whatever it is)."
Like fingernails on a blackboard. Sounds extremely shallow to me.

Except that 'my bad' doesn't necessarily mean "I'm sorry", and often doesn't. It's more "my mistake, my goof, oops", etc. without an apology being necessary. It's often used for relatively inconsequential, shrug-and-smile little things.

I don't think that a lot of these words/phrases should actually be 'banished'. One that somebody mentioned was 'literally'. Certainly some people use the word inappropriately, but it IS a legitimate word, when used properly. I vote to keep it.

Oh no you din'nt! I was going to mention this one. It's a pretty new one. Needs to go. blech
Actually, mine was 'alternative facts'. SMH over this notion.
@chickenbutt, and you would be correct.

"cutting edge"
"outside the envelope"
"global village"
"which begs the question" (used indiscriminately)

I vote for "truth be told."
I'm sick of that phrase.

Nope. it means that someone is trying to deny or muddle what they said previously.
