I'm guilty of the overuse of "like" when I speak. I don't do it on purpose, it's completely subconscious, and I really have to force myself to avoid the word. I probably hate it more than listeners because I know how stupid it makes me sound.

And to all you business-speak haters, I'm right there with you. My blood boils when I hear "proactive" used in any way, shape or form. I'll be proactive and shove my pen into your eye if I get the feeling you will be saying that word.

I also hate ANY hip-hop inspired sayings being used by non-hip-hoppers. Or without trying to be racist, "white guys trying to sound black." Sorry fellow whiteys, we aren't cool, just stop it. Specifically adding "izzle" to the tail end of every word.

I tend to like obscure/old movie or TV quotes which describe like or dislike for things.
