What is the most overused word?
My vote goes to “system”. Everything is a system.There are voting systems, health care systems, teaching systems, betting systems and sprinkling systems. You just can’t beat the system.

“Like.” Used as, like, unnecessary fillers in sentences.
Basic or basically are very overused.
Tar sands, and Obamacare.
Right now it seems to be “unprecedented,” although you could make a strong case for “double down.”
“Literally” and “ironic”.
“This”.
Used as a kind of confirmation or sign of agreement with something someone else has stated on social media.
@Dutchess_III That was the word that popped in my mind also! Some overused: problematic, bottom line, comprehensive overhaul. Remember when the word “said” was swapped with the word goes? I second the Breaking News Alert! So overused.
Journey during awards shows.
“Amazing” People say things are amazing when they aren’t. I used to have a friend, an ex friend now, who used to date all these jerks and each one of them was “amazing” when she first met them. There was nothing special about them when she met them, and all the things that they did or said were fairly normal every day things, but pretty much every one of them either cheated on her, or didn’t like her as much as she liked them and they dumped her. It was “amazing” how bad her taste in men was.
… and “So” as the first word in a sentence.
“Fake” has been overused recently, especially by you know who.
Shit.
That little shit was smoking some shit and caused some shit because he thinks he’s the shit, but he ain’t shit.
It’s amazing how many times the word “amazing” has been mentioned. ~
I agree @Dutchess_III I find it amazing as well that amazing has been mentioned, really amazing it is. :D
Awesome a few years back.
“Crappy”. I hear this word used a lot from other students at my college and it’s baffling as to why people use such a tame and undescriptive word to describe something unpleasant.
Back in the ‘80’s I knew a guy that said “amazing” so much that I started calling him amazing.
@rockfan because they don’t want to say “shitty.” Nothing wrong with that.
