Attention everyone.
The question has been answered. No more sleepless nights.
The most annoying phrase or word in the English language is "whatever." In case you were wondering, Marist College did a poll on 938 adults, and they were the ones who picked the most annoying word or phrase.
Apparently my top annoying word didn't make the cut for the five annoying phrases the adults picked from. Hmmm. Maybe I should conduct my own poll. Surely I can find 938 adults to ask.
What is your most annoying phrase or word?
For the record, if I never hear the (non)word "tumped" again, I'll be okay. I think it's a hybrid between "tipped" and "dumped," but I'm not sure.
There. Now your day is complete. You now know the most annoying word. Be sure to sprinkle it liberally in your daily conversation.
