2010 list of words and phrases that should be banned

[L.G.]

"Guesstimate" *facepalms* Anytime I hear someone say that word, I scream to myself, "You're either guessing or estimating. PICK ONE!"

"Irregardless" My beef with this word is that you can say 'regardless,' which has fewer syllables, and the sentence in question will still make sense (probably more sense).

The phrase "It's over 9000!" 9000 what?! 9000 newtons? 9000 pounds squared? Honestly, that meme has been overused to the point where it is only funny in a few select jokes.

Epic got old for me since...I don't remember exactly, but whenever people use that particular adjective and only that one, it irks me. What's wrong with "awesome" and "incredible"? As for 'epic fail', other phrases could easily work like "You moron." or "What were you thinking?" or even "THAT'S no good."
