TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
When "whatever" is used to discount anything you just said to the other
person or to indicate that they really don't give a rip.
But my ultimate... and this I just remembered...
"What's up?"
It makes me want to scream. The tone usually rendered with that saying
is to me saying, "Hurry up and speak, I have very little time for you."
Although, "Wazzup?" is fine.
Claire - thinking of her brother who uses Wazzup all the time and it
makes her laugh.

"Anyways."
That is my most annoying word. It's a word that isn't a word and people
use it all the time, on tv, in films, in conversations overheard at
restaurants. "So, anyways, I was talking to Bill and he told me that
Angela is mad at me."
