This week, you might have trouble narrowing the answers to a mere seven! Recently, a Marist poll identified “Whatever” as the most-annoying phrase. “You know” was also a top pick for worst choice, and the phrase, “It is what it is” ranked high on the nerve-grating list. It doesn’t take a great deal of searching to find more takes on the cream of the annoying crop.

So which ones do you hate?

• First to play last week: Mika of Mika Salakka. Congratulations!

(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)

Here is this week’s “Sunday Seven” question. Either answer in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog (with a link here), and then comment here with a link back to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name the seven common words and phrases that annoy you the most.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.) You may include this link in the URL space when leaving your comment, or in the comment itself. As long as it’s there in one spot or the other.
