What is the most annoying word that us Americans have created? Do you agree that the word app is overused and has become extremely annoying?

Why do all Americans copycat new words and phases that originate from large corporations and use these stupid words so much that society just accept these stupid words (e.g., techie; app; cert. etc.)?

The unnecessary shortening of words, and the unnecessary copycat culture of the U.S.A. is just awful

    I don't think "app" is particularly annoying. I have read that the British actually shorten words more than Americans. "Veggies" for example, started with them. And "agro" for "aggravation".
