Lets see theres: (i guess more phrases than words.)
“Just saying”
Salmon (when they pronounce the L

“Whattee” (just say what! >>)
Bro (this little girl constantly been saying it!! I work for a preschool 3-5 yr olds)
“Well technically”
“But to be fair…”

I totally agree with you on the word Pussy, it totally makes me cringe every time when addressed for cats!
I don't understand.

If I were Editor Of The World, I would ban the word literally. It's either used incorrectly ("I literally died of embarrassment when she met me wearing that dress!" If you literally died of embarrassment, this would be a funeral) or redundantly ("The sky is literally blue, this morning." This is the same as saying "The blue sky is blue").

As the father of two, I will defend “We’re Pregnant”. No, I didn’t get the stretch marks, but I suffered just as much as my wife did. She made sure of that!
Preggers or preggo. You're pregnant!

I know of someone who pronounces "buffet" (the food variety) as "BuffeT" (like Jimmy Buffett). People got on her for it, and now, she does it purposely to troll everyone. At this point, it's actually kind of funny.

For many pepple "moist" is apperenty an adversion word.
"Wet" or "mushy" are ones for me especialy when refering to food (thats why youll only see me call canned cat food canned on this form). "Moist" just makes me think of a fresh cake.

Veggie instead of vegetable. Ugh! Too cutesy.
I don';t know why, but 'tater' instead of potato is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me........
Much. Not the word specifically when used properly. But in a phrase. (ex.) If a person sees someone they like with someone else, then the term "jealous much?" is used.
Makes me want to tear my hair out.

When everything someone does has to be referred to as a "journey". I get weight loss journeys, self help journeys, etc., but if you're drinking a glass of water, it's drinking a glass of water, not a "hydration journey". 
"Darling." I don't know if I've heard anyone say it, but it's in enough books. I don't even read romance novels, yet there it is, "Darling, I am going to the store." "Okay, my love, I will see you when you get home. And darling, whatever you do, please don't forget to pick up a loaf of marbled rye."

I dunno… after a big night out someone might find themselves in need of a hydration journey.it's drinking a glass of water, not a "hydration journey".

Same and this needs to stop. I've met quite a few Karens in my life and none of them behaved like that. All lovely ladies.

Actually...I use the term "Darling" regularly. Of course when I do I am talking to my cats! Truly, what is more darling than a cat?
