-"literally" pulling your hair out?- I don't think so
-It's a "miracle" I got accepted to college-no it isn't
-crap shows like the insider LOVE to say brave. they showed a 200lb 5 year old waddling on the floor to the TV. "Look how she bravely tries to reach the couch."
soldiers are brave , a celebrity adopting a baby isn't

Just remembered another massively abused word "countless"
I've heard this incessantly since I paid attention to how much it annoys me. Not a single time has it ever referred to something that is beyond calculation.
# of grains of sand on all beaches=countless
# of concerts someone has performed= a precise number

Awesome, genius, totally, right on. They are all being used for things they "literally" are not, just to make a point or to bring emphasize to a phrase.

awesome; it used to be such a good word to express the actual awe created by an object, scene, or situation; now it sounds like your just some unimaginative loser on weed that has no hallucinogenic effects.
thought of another one...priceless. Most things described as priceless have a price tag.

"Enough already" when the listener is upset.
"Like" That one gets me a wee bit upset. It peppers conversations as though it were a meaningful word. NOT.

'hero' used to refer to someone who risked life, but now we have sports heroes.
