"Boneless wings" made the list? Can't understand that one. Might even be ordering them later tonight. On the other hand, if I hear the term "Fiscal cliff" again, I may start screaming.

If I remember correctly, YOLO stands for You Only Live Once.

Hmm, I've never heard "Double down" or "Kick the can down the road". Where did those come from? Anyway, yeah, definitely sick of... the... "f***** c****" term, along with "trending", "YOLO", and "spoiler alert". And I guess I've heard "superfood" an awful lot, but I don't know if I'm sick of the word yet.
And as a deeper explanation on "YOLO", there are meme pictures all over the web of people doing incredibly stupid/horrific/irresponsible/immature things that for the most part anyone would be humiliated to be caught doing or even witnessing. And the letters "YOLO" are pasted into the picture some where. The memes seem to be popular with a certain group of teens who find them hilarious and/or an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible. But for most of us, it's just stupid and annoying.

The whole "YOLO" thing is getting very old - it wasn't even funny to begin with. I also think "Gangnam Style" should be on that list.
