"You know" those really annoying terms that drive you up a wall? Get ready for the list.

Marist polled more than 1,200 adults nationwide.

Topping the list of annoying terms: whatever, with 32% of the vote.

Next came "like" which 21% didn't like -- followed by "you know" and "just sayin".

Runners-up included "twitterverse" and "gotcha".

The results mirrored last year's survey when "whatever" was tops for a third straight year

What about "baby daddy" and baby momma"? What about use of the "mf" word twice or more per sentence? Then what about the dumb texts that read "ima" when the person is trying to say "I am" and "all ok" when they want to convey "Oh, ok"? It gets on my nerves, y'all feel me? lol

I cant stand when I get a text and "so" is spelled "sooooo." And then they feel punctuation needs to be repeated as well. Soooo??? ugh.

Sounds like the entire vocabulary of the Jerry Springer show to me. Guess that's why they are most annoying!
