2010's Trite and Worn Words & Phrases

In grades 7-9, I used a progression of marvelous texts called Word Wealth to expand vocabulary. So I should know better if and when I use any of these overused words in the next few months.

 on steroids/
counter intuitive/man up/
friend-ed/ life back/it's all good/
leverage/transparency/it is what it is

* Please feel free to add your own phrases you find mildly irritating.
