In opposition to the "Words you like the sound of", what about the vilest of the vile. The words which stir the stomach to shout soup;
For me, it has to be the use of "innit". In fact, any laziness in language. Use the words properly!
Use the words properly!

real-time.
Just watching season 8 of 24 and they want everything real time. What other sort of time would in anyway be relevant? What would someone give you by mistake if they didn't realise you specifically needed real time information?
Alex curran! Eurgh..
For sure, it's certain you eejits
'kinda like' - so annoying
'Ourselves', 'yourselves' and 'myself'....
Utterly neutral on their own, but when left in the hands of some of my plantlife colleagues you end up receiving emails/telephone calls along the lines of:
'Ourselves have contacted yourselves about this matter on previous occasions. If yourselves could reply to myself, then ourselves will be in a position to pursue it further'
Synergy.
'Innit' gets on my nerves as well.
'Frank' & 'Skinner' are another two.
'Football'
'Management' (not linked to the previous bit)
'Medication'
'Methodone'
Isn't 'celebs' even more irksome?
'Butt' and 'ass' and other such Americanisms are really unhelpful to my mental well-being.

Real time has a specific meaning. In TV it means that one minute of screen time equals one minute of plot time. In computing it means that calculations or functions are performed on a continuous basis all the time.
Not a silly word at all.
'Ourselves have contacted yourselves about this matter on previous occasions. If yourselves could reply to myself, then ourselves will be in a position to pursue it further'
AAAAAAAAAARGH!

Your instead of you're.
Yeah yeah yeah,instead of just one yeah.
"most unique" or any variation thereof.
What's wrong with celebrity? What adjective should we use?
What annoys me is words being used as verbs when they are derived from verbs in the first place.
Such as leverage. The verb is to lever.
Any word that should have 'ing' on the end - Please pronounce the 'G', it does my head in. As does missing the 'H' off the beginning of words, except maybe 'otel' which is posh.
Hate Basically..... arggghhh.

LOL, ROFL, LMAO, ROFLMAO,!!!! etc.
Pedant(ic/ism /ary) consistently being used improperly, and being considered a virtue as opposed to a flaw.
'I'm sorry, it's passed closing time',
'I', when the speaker means 'me',
'Disinterested', when the speaker means 'uninterested',
'Myself' when 'me' is correct,
'Decimated', when speaking of a situation where less or more than 10% of the subjects of the sentence are dead,
'Enormity', when speaking of the large size of something
'And now we leave the live action for another episode of the Good Life / Dad's Army [delete as applicable]'
And what's wrong with abbeviations?
Christ, your worlds must be dull as ditchwater if you can't cope with humorous linguistic creativity.

In computing it means that calculations or functions are performed on a continuous basis all the time.
Afraid not, it means they have a constrained response time. Nothing to do with operating continuously.

Nothing wrong with most of the above except some are now used so often they have lost most of their original meaning.
