What words have been overused to the point of meaninglessness?

"Literally"

I miss the days when this word actually meant something.

It does. People wouldn't use it if it didn't.

racist, nazist.

It's just used for comebacks to cancel someone over the internet or real life.

yep. when someone calls you a racist or a nazi that's when you know you won the argument.

This post literally blew my mind

Exactly.

Literally

Agree on that one. Overused to the point of tedium.

- phobe

Should have been left to it's psychological definition.
A pathological fear.

Systemic

Somethings may be systemic. But it's overused to suggest some things are hard baked into practice, or law when they're merely common.


The problem with lazy overuse of dramatic language is indeed that it loses it's serious impact.
You play a card, and people roll their eyes. The word as argument tactic has lost it's importance.

all the numbers

Oprindeligt skrevet af Radene:

ALL of them.

Oprindeligt skrevet af Gus the Crocodile:

None of them.

Now I'm confused.

"Like"

It seems to me that it is a word that is inserted in a sentence for no reason.

I was going to the store or I was like going to the store

[Arnie Rimsy BSc.SSc.]

Forget overuse.
Let's talk words that have 2 definitions... one of which is the opposite of the other. :^)

Sanction.

...which probably gets overused too.

"Organic". Not if it's made with the same stuff I use to refurbish old houses.

"Zero-emissions". Used to manufacture cars, nukes, condoms and $500 Air Jordans... but somehow impossible when it involves actual zero-emission stuff like fusion reactors.

"Fact-checking". Unless you're George Lucas, you are not the ultimate expert on "Star Wars".

"Communist" and "socialist". I might've failed a few world history courses in college, but I'm pretty sure Karl Marx wasn't an Austrian housepainter.

George needed a lot of help just saying. His ex-wife a lynch pin and making of prequels documentary just major lol. Some of the things George comes out with. He basically asks for people to stop him. Who is really going to go to George Lucas and say stop? No one lol.
