"Actually" is another one that's thrown into sentences all over the shop for no apparent reason.

Curse word.

"Awesome" is overused and usually for things that are not at all awesome. It can be like fingernails on a blackboard to hear it bandied about so ubiquitously.

I admit it: I have been known to use "awesome" and "epic" for things that were neither. The appeal? I guess because it is obvious that the event/phrase/whatever is too trivial to be called "awesome" or "epic". So the pairing of trivial with epicness was kind of funny.

Except, now, it's waaaay overused, dude.

I use the word awesome as a reply to people who are trying to ruffle my feathers to communicate that I could care less and their effort is wasted. I kind of like using it like this. Here is an example of me using it at work:

dave3: (Dave has been standing in the same place for 15 minutes with his elbows on the table, doing absolutely nothing.) Hey ryan, what do I need to do so I can head on out of here?
ryan: You can sweep and mop the floor.
dave3: Yeaaaa, Well, I don't mop.
ryan: Awesome.
dave3: So that means I can just go.
ryan: I don't care. Do what you want.
dave3: (Stands up.) All right. Then I am out of here.
(Dave remains standing still where he is expecting a response.)
dave3: Hey ryan, I'm going to leave then.
ryan: Awesome.
dave3: Are you pissed off?
ryan: No.
dave3: You seem like you're angry.
ryan: I'm not.
dave3: You are angry. Why are you angry?
ryan: (Silent.)

I really don't like any curse words. I think its a waste of a word and very rude. I hate the words wicked, stoked, and radical. It really annoys me when people say those words.
