Default Words & Phrases That Need to be Retired ...

Sort of like how hip-hop had a funeral for the word "def".

Man Cave.
Haters.
Sexting.
Literally.
Irony.
Buy-In.
It is what it is.
At the end of the day.
Tragic
And now the Flames are going on the Powerplay.

irony, literally and tragic are all perfectly good words, not sure what you would replace them with 'although you sound serious I suspect you are actually making a joke' would seem a bit of a mouthfull to put into a sentance instead.

But they are all used incorrectly.

I was just thinking about stuff like this the other day...
I can't stand it when people say:
"That's sick"
"That's phat"
"Peace out"
