The 7 Most Overused Words on the Internet

Postby Andrew on Mon Oct 01, 2012 9:56 am

aka The 7 Words We Should Avoid Using, as per Cracked.

Completely agree with the list, though "Um" would be in my top three. Love this line, too:

Apathy is how you tell your parents they should have masturbated.

Admittedly I use bitch more now because of Breaking Bad. The rest I don't particularly care for. I'm actually surprised epic or fail didn't make that list, or even ermergerd.

Um, I can't believe I'm the first to point out that this bitch is doing a bunch of dumb psychoanalysis in which he shoves his own internal justification for the usage of words onto others and claiming it makes them "overused." Meh.

Heh, what's probably more overused on the internet is "The X [whatever]" because making any sort of ranked list instantly creates attention because people disagree with it. For example:

1. Pizza
2. Halo 3
3. Tim Robbins
4. Leftos
5. Canada
6. shadowgrin

Also, Andrew, you sir have fucked up the thread title.

Good point. Should've made it a top ten.

Kudos

"This" (when quoting another user which I personally hate with a passion)

Win

Fail

Troll

Epic Fail

Epic Win

All of these I have a particular hate for when I see them.
