What's your "word"?

A friend of mine has taken to using the word "unacceptable" when dealing with service or situations that are, well, unacceptable. She also told me that when her daughter was cleaning out her cubby she referred to the things she threw away as "crap" - one of my friend's favorite descripters.

According to my husband my word is "deal with it." Or, more accurately "dealwithit!" I have also found that I use the word "idiot" very frequently, in most cases as a way to describe the incompetent drivers I mingle with every day. (It wasn't until my 5-year old son started describing people as "idiots" that I realized how frequently I use the word).

So I want to know - what are your words? And have your kids picked up on them?

there are a lot of phrases i over use, such as "hi"(my favorite) and "narf" (pinky and the brain." However, there are phrases that make me want to commit homocide: "like," "you know," "let me put it this way," and "comprehensive immigration reform."
