Irritating phrases

Sorry, but "life hack" annoys the hell out of me, I know what it means, but it sets my teeth on edge, whats wrong with a "tip" or something ?

Another thing is, text speak in normal conversation.

  • “Literally” as in “I was literally lying on my back screaming”. The sentence doesn’t need “literally”, or I could say “it (literally) doesn’t need it”.

    “Very unique/fairly unique”. Something is either unique or it isn’t unique.

    ”My bad”. It doesn’t make sense and it makes me think of a toddler learning to speak. I don’t know what it is meant to mean. Is it an apology? 

    “At this moment in time” as opposed to any other moment in time. What’s wrong with using “now”?

    Oh, the "literally" thing annoys the hell out of me because it's used the wrong way SO MANY times!

    "I'm literally dying of thirst" Right, so right now you're actually near death due to dehydration? How are you still walking and talking like a perfectly normal person if you're "literally" dying of thirst, hmm?
