What is a word that is used too often?

My choice is "literally." It is literally overused.

Often to absurdity, too.

"I was literally like..." Two clumsily over-, and wrongly- used words in one clause there! How can you be identical yet also only similar, to something?

Or dafter still,

Try adding it, as I have heard done, to old colloquialisms based on metaphor, e.g.:

"It was raining cats and dogs!". (Meaning it were siling down, as they say Up North).

So leaving poodles on the ground?
