Most Over Used Words Here and on Facebook

I was laughing at someone this morning for complaining about on Facebook every time someone posts a picture, all the replies are "sweet."  "Your sweet mama"  "Your sweet baby"  "Your sweet kitten" etc. etc.  

 

I thought about that and how often the hosts are set upon here for words they over use, so how about US?  Please include yourself and lets laugh about words that WE over use!

 

I'll start:  Hubby is the first one that I use that comes to mind.  I never use that in real life, but do here.  I think it is funny how easy it is to fall into using cyber-speak.

Oh my goodness!!!!  It seems MANY people under 40 are afflicted with that word.  It really is a verbal crutch! I'm not even sure what it is supposed to mean.

I seem to rely on cute, sweet, wow, 😂 and ❤️.

 

I detest the word hubby for some reason.

I agree about hubby, too!

 

I imagine the bears from the toilet paper commercials when someone references their 'hubby'.

I use too much:  OMG

 

Others:  HTH/Hope this helps. Sounds so smug and trite to me - like "Have a Nice Day 😍" when you dislike someone.
