Does anyone get tired of overused overworked word such as awesome, interface,, cognizant and predator? I do. Nowadays everything is Awesome!
Awesomeness is big too. I wonder what will be next.
What word are you weary of?

110 percent. I know, I know, it's not a word. But the fools that use the phrase drive me crazy--and invariably their output is closer to 10% than 100%. One cannot give 110% of one's effort. Those who say they can or promise that they will are both liars and fools who need to go back for a refresher course on basic math. Anyone who claims/promises to give more than one hundred percent effort to any endeavor should be asked to explain precisely how they intend to accomplish that miraculous task and fired when they offer up some foolish platitude about their superhuman ability.

None of us can give more than a 100% effort and most of us come nowhere close to our capacity. (Anyone claiming to "give it one thousand percent" probably works for the Congressional Budget Office or the White House which would explain the current state of our economy and the national debt.)

I agree Victor. A refresher course in math may cause much confusion, especially the learning part.
