    The most overused word, and mis-used, I might say, is the word "awsome". Oooo...these cookies are awsome! How are you? I'm awsome!

    Now; a cookie can be delicious, delightful, and pretty darned tasty, but a cookie alone does not really qualify for the word "awsome". That word should be reserved for matters like the love or God or the Grand Canyon. Yesterday's snappy T-shirt is not awsome.

    The most underused word or phrase? Gee, that's a hard one. Although that phrase has been told to me over and over and over and over and...........

    hahahahaha

    the biggest get right of entry to in the oxford english dictionary is for the be conscious 'set' - which has many greater meanings than you think of. there are numerous relatively clever words which no person looks to apply ever - ergative and stochastic are between them. yet I surely have never heard every person say 'sourquydrie' - and it relatively is an exceptionally clever theory.
