The first two words makes you look like a jerk when using them. I last I hate because most of the time, 'literally' is not used literally. "The Seahawks are literally getting steamrolled this season." If that was accurate, I would have watched more football the last few months. Huffington Post is unapologetically liberal. Weird thing about Ariana Huffington is that she used to be on the conservative side. My recent “Words I hate” list includes ‘idiosyncratic’, ‘panache’, and ‘literally’.
