But I'm looking thru the list. I say some of these things. Maybe I'm annoying. But I'm thinking that I say more than just a couple. Oh well. We will just have to agree to disagree. :-)
Not to be rude, but are you annoying too ?

WHAT I USE
"You know," I use it a little as a filler and a lot as a way to cut people down. As in "your dumb ass should already know, but I'm going to repeat because I can't grunt it out for you."
"Full stop," sounds more aggressive than "period," so I like it.
"I reject the premise of that question" is the best answer to a trap question like "have you stopped beating your wife?"
"I'm only saying what everyone's thinking," I'm guilty of this. Full stop.
"So what?" is useful if someone acts like their point is self-evident, or if they ramble.
"Do better." I'll admit, I say this one to cement the fact that someone's been a real asshole.
WHAT PISSES ME OFF THAT OTHERS USE
"I simply have a powerful personality," yes, and that personality is "complete fucking asshole."
Similar for "I always keep it real...", no, you're just unkind and want to hurt people. Often transforms to "it's just a joke" when it generates a negative response.
"Can't you see that I'm busy," usually means "my time is more important that yours."
"Trust the science," said by someone who's read a few slanted articles and hasn't sat in a science classroom since 11th grade, let alone knows how science is done.
"I work hard" is just virtue signaling. Worse is "work hard play hard," which means escape from my shitty personal life at the office and drink to numb the pain.
"Threat to our democracy," yeah, eat my ass, Chicken Little. Usually used by the left during Trump but the right isn't immune to it either.
"That's just how I was raised," OK, your parents fucked you up and you just want to continue the cycle. Statute of limitations on blaming your parents for your shit is long gone.
"Smile." I'm a large dude with a resting bitch face and I get this. Fuck you.
"We are like family here," is a million horrible workplaces. Usually by a boss that thinks they're your parent and dictator of your life.
"This is my truth," YES CAN THIS ONE PLEASE FUCKING DIE. THERE IS "THE TRUTH" AND "NOT THE TRUTH." NOT "YOUR TRUTH."
CAN APPEAR ON EITHER LIST DEPENDING ON CONTEXT
"I don't like drama" can be used to squelch drama, or to conceal one's participation in it.
Used by others? "Threat to our democracy. We don't even live in a democracy, you fucking idiot. We don't live in a democracy because there are too many idiots like you to be involved in the decision- making.
Runner-up? Something is "literally literally" something else.
I’m guilty of saying “you know” too much. “Well, you know, Bill’s an idiot so nobody should be surprised he did that.”
One phrase I don’t like and I don’t remember seeing it on there is when people say “basically” when they’re explaining something.

Ahead of
Just saying
And people who start sentences or replies to questions with “So”
No you fucking don't. Stop trying to compensate for your lack of importance.
Hoi know what.....
"Expresso"
"Nucular"
"Should of," "could of," "would of"
"Excetera"
"For all intensive purposes"
"A doggy dog world"
"Irregardless"
Add to the list: Suppose to...
However, one that I know is incorrect but I use it intentionally because I think it's kind of funny: Those son-of-a-bitches!
And I'll second the one from an earlier post: Misusing the word "literally". Did you watch that debate last night? He LITERALLY killed the other guy!
One that I am guilty of sometimes is starting a comment with "So".
Here are a few I dislike that weren’t mentioned.
No! I won’t let you stick that in me!
Toda la noche.
Front room make out session.
Keep your pants on.
Yada yada yada
Can anybody guess my opinion of him?
Even better, get a written transcript of your speaking. Most people have no idea how often they use filler words and phrases while they speak. It's pretty enlightening.
Also, I'm a monster.
Especially when a politician start to answer a question with “Frankly“ you know whatever follows will be a lie or at least only a half truth.
