Well if we're getting into more single words I nominate "cringe" and "triggered"

Another one that's recently bothered the living #### outta me has been:
"It gets me right in the feels"
...and, "my ask of you". Why don't you just say "request"?

I never heard this being used in Canada, but for some reason Americans, particularly officials working at government agencies will say "On your person" when referring to something you possess.
Like, you walk into a government building and the security guard working the metal detector will stop you and ask "Sir, are you carrying any firearms on your person?"... why add the "on your person" other than to sound more official? I know it's technically correct usage of the word "person", but in modern English it sound insanely dumb and unnecessarily repetitive.

Anyone trying to sound like a lawyer..."as per" "said" (as an adjective) "aforementioned". Some people can get away with it. But unless you've just won the lawyer olympics, you generally need to zip it.

The word "####". It just sounds disgusting and pathetic. Can't stand it.
Edit - Oh good it's filtered. The alt-right's favourite derogatory term for any conservative they don't like.

I know a guy who would say "Take her easy" and then every time, without fail, he would say "and if she's that easy, take her twice!"
I wanted to stab him in the face.

To make it clear to the audience that they are not asking them about firearms they are carrying in their vehicle - which is a real possibility as different establishments and buildings can forbid the carrying of firearms on premises.
American gun culture means that probably more than enough people have been asked if they are "carrying any firearms" and have misinterpreted the question or intentionally engaged in wordplay (i.e. "not with my hands! hyuk, hyuk...) that the addition of those three words probably have saved the Asker so much crap from the confused or the ones trying to be funny.

"Shame on you!"
- I instantaneously know you are 70+ years old when I hear/read this
"Doing this would create value for the company"
- Value is so vague and meaningless... be specific, otherwise I think you're just making crap up.

Help, save, whatever.

In university this guy would always say" What are you sayin'?" instead of "Hey" or "What's up?" It was so stupid.
