This and "retarded" make me cringe. There are so many other words in the English language. If something is stupid, lame, boring, useless, waste of time, etc. then call it stupid, lame, boring, useless, waste of time, etc.
I know I overuse a lot of the words mentioned: "oh my god", "like", "so", "awesome", "freaking", and "whatever". I also overuse "cool", "ok", and "blah blah blah".
