The word pivot should be forbidden, except in aerobics classes.

Ironic.  That's another one I think people misuse most of the time.  I once took a quiz about whether or not the word was used properly in the examples.  I got a couple wrong so I avoid using the word myself Smiley Happy

"Amazing"   -- used as an all-purpose superlative, applied to the mundane and the unusual alike

 

"Love me some"  --misguided attempt to sound all hip and appreciative, but off-hand, as in  "I love me some James Woolsey".

 

"I'm done"  --  when used to indicate, not simply ending something prosaic, but when used to dramatically indicate having suffered all you can take, and wanting no more.  I'm not explaining it that well, but it slightly annoys me when used this way...
