I was just thinking of adding plethora, tantamount, facetious, and ubiquitous to this list before reading these comments! Definitely overused, and not just in speech. It seems that I cannot read the newspaper anymore without having to endure "such-and-such is tantamount to..." followed by some hyperbolic statement.

tantamount, intrinsic, facetious, & ubiquitous should be on that list if the people I went to school with are a good basis by which to judge.

I second plethora *and* schadenfreude. How about sesquipedalian?

about 1 year ago uselessness said:

I am totally down with including schadenfreude on this list. Eesh.
