Does anyone else despise trendy words?

Why do I hate it when people say words like "epic" and "fail?" Do most people get annoyed when someone uses these words? What other words bother people?

I've said "lol" on accident, out loud, once. But most of the time while joking around with Jen, I say "lawl" XD

Internet lingo kind of bothers me too, one of my first posts called Mind Your Language was loosely based on the internet lingo. A comment I received on the post was even more funny,

I don't really loathe trendy words. It's the people who use them way too many times that bother me.

"epic", "fail", "heart" make me sick.

Lol kills me. Because they are NOT lol'ing. I find myself saying "A true l-o-l moment" when something actually makes me laugh, because just "lol" has lost it's flair.

Lol. I've never used those two but I've been told I say 'dude' too much. Which is kinda lame and old school. But it's one of my stupid habits, Dude.
