What is a word or phrase that you hate?

I, for instance, find it quite annoying when people overuse the word 'quite' on the internet in an effort to sound superior and well educated.

Nope, that's not it.
Maybe it's seen that way among Americans and British, but not for others. We use it because we might like it, and not to impress them.

@SW-User I understand that, and I don't care when people use it as a regular word. I really meant in specific instances when people are trying to sound smart during an internet debate.

@coffeedimplez I've noticed that when Americans overuse it they use it to mostly impress the British and themselves.
I use it as an intensifier, when not sure what to use instead, or when lazy to pick words.
Anyway, that's as far as I can tell. 🤷‍♂️ You know best on how things word among your people.
To others that aren't American, British or others that have English as their native language, it is, really, just a regular word.🤷‍♂️

@SW-User Exactly! I should've been more specific I guess
