[h=2]Pollsters found that Americans considered “whatever” to be the most annoying word or phrase in conversation for a fifth straight year[/h]
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.—When it comes to phrases that annoy, it looks like it’s “whatever” forever.

Pollsters at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., found that Americans considered “whatever” to be the most annoying word or phrase in conversation for a fifth straight year.

Thirty-eight per cent of adults polled said “whatever” was most annoying in conversation, followed by “like” at 22 per cent and “you know” at 18 per cent. Bringing up the rear were “just sayin,’” and “obviously.”

The telephone poll of 1,173 adults living in the continental United States was conducted Dec. 3 through Dec. 5 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Legend..... wait for it.......ary. finishes second in my book.

I had a girl "whatever" me once and I dumped her on the spot. Literally. Opened the car door and let he walk the rest of the way home.
 
I'd put the following two above that one:

trending (seriously, they just made that up lol)

iconic (i can't remember how many different reporters or articles or 'whatever' used that word for just about everything under the sun is apparently 'iconic' these days.)
 
The word "twerk" has become annoying to me this year. Maybe it's not the word, but the overuse of it.
