People who always use the word "like", basically in every single sentence or the majority of the sentence. I want people to stop using "good" instead of "well", and stop using slang in real life. They sound uneducated and stupid, really.

This is NOT an insult to African Americans or anyone AT ALL, but I personally cannot STAND any type of Ebonics. They annoy the crap out of me.
Almost anything used in rap.

"Bling."
It's incredibly irritating that even old, white, conservative journalists have begun using this term. >_<
