I agree with my brothers about taking sacred names in vain.  I also am pretty offended by most coarse language... f*&^% pretty much tops the list!

I find it difficult to get wound up by any individual words.
The sentiment behind them and the attitude of the user of those words is more likly to get me going, but even then, I would hesitate to use the word "hate".

I have to agree with Mike. "See You Next Tuesday" is such a ridiculously offensive word. It gives me the willies when I hear someone say it. And i think ive only used it in the most extreme of moments. And I still got the willies.   :-X

"Stimulus" ranks right up there right now.  My pet peeve is people that overuse curse words just to use them.  Only 5th graders think that is cool.  For instance, I work with a "lady" that uses the F word as a verb, noun, adjective, prepositional phrase, pronoun and for just about every other part of speech there is.  I tried to tell her to think about the real meaning of the word.  If it doesn't fit, don't use it just to cuss.

"Actually", particularly its repetitive use in news reports, as in, "We're actually here in the Congressional office of. . ."  It's useless, implies that next time they might not be there or they have said this in the past as a misrepresentation of their actual position.

Another timely one is 'investment' -- when politicians are spending all of this money that they don't have, it's actually an 'investment.'

I also don't like 'virtually' -- it means nothing but implies 100%.  It's used in advertsing all of the time.  Phrases I really can't stand are 'old man' or 'old lady' referring to parents or spouses -- totally disrespectful.
