One of my sisters hates the word "tender" because her 3rd grade teacher privately admitted to her that she had a mole in "one of her more tender areas" after seeing a mole on my sister.

That one, so soon after telling my sister's story, made me cringe as well.

"lil'" as an abbreviation for little. I have no problem with this as a rapper prefix, but in the vernacular it annoys the shit out of me.

More like a phrase than a word. I can't stand documentaries/pieces of a journalism that start with voiceovers or ledes along the lines of
"I'm on a journey to discover..."
or "This is a story about..."
I blame Adam Curtis.

Oh, I do that a lot. My accent changes when I do it too, I start inflecting all wrong. I really must train myself out of this. I have no idea where I've picked it up from.

Actually, I've just realised I picked it up off a pal of mine, I can actually hear his voice in my head saying it right now as I'm thinking about this and it would appear that I mimic the way he does it.

never occurred to me that that is or might be an Americanism tbh

here's an example of when this phrase might be uttered:
"Ever since Bono was gunned down in a West Hollywood brothel, I've been feeling an unusual sense of well-being.""Wait-- Bono's dead? When did this happen?""Hm... I wanna say, like, 2 weeks ago...?"
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 17 January 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
oh, ok! in terms of estimation! that makes total sense. I was reading it like "I have something that I really want to say."
― whose black line is it anyway? (how's life), Thursday, 17 January 2013 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
I wanna say that he died two weeks ago, but I lack the precise information or specific expertise required to guarantee that number.

automagically is a perfectly presentable word, if it is being used by Billy in Family Circle.

"obviously" peppered liberally into sentences where nothing described is at all obvious. A weird twist on this: I encountered a guy who has changed it up to "ironically" - he kept saying "ironically" about twice per sentence and there was no irony whatsoever! I mean maybe THAT'S ironical idk
