Quite a few;

literally

  • if one repeats this in 5 seconds in a conversation.

like

  • not against saying like, but when is used in "describing" you will be judged.

obvi

  • ugh, I just hate this.

legit

  • When I hear legit, all I see is insecurities. DO YOUR RESEARCH, TRUST YOUR GUTS.

And yes, I'm millennial.

Ohh I see you're missing out on the fun side of "legit" Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says "legit"

Also isn't it some kind of skateboard term from the 90's? "Broooo that 720 was legiiit ๐Ÿค™"

"Like" is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it's just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like

not against saying like, but when is used in "describing" you will be judged.

Wait, so you just hate similes?

so you're fine using 'like' as, like, a pause word, but not in similes?
