Other words that are starting to bother me...
"Fierce" (thanks macmachine) - a big hit with the kids.
"Not so much" - running a close second behind "phenomenal" for most annoying use of language.
In fact, if you Google the phrase "not so much", this is the first result:

An entire article devoted to it's evolution and usage. No surprise that it's traced back to early episodes of the "Friends" television program. Unlike "phenomenal", in which the user tends to exaggerate the greatness of something, people who use "not so much" tend to think they are witty. Not so much, asshole.

The REALLY upsetting thing is that I'm pretty sure 'fierce' came from America's Next Top Model...
