Something for the language curmudgeons to gnaw at. Somebody has come up with this list of overused terms that should be eliminated from the language. Some are terms you don't hear so much here. Do you have any better candidates?
Personally, I'm not averse to language change as such - new words and new usage. But some things, like celebrity couple contractions, do offend my sensibilities. Of course it could be celebrity worship that is the offensive bit rather than the terms.
