Most of those words suck, but "cool" doesn't.

perfect
This is said instead of "fine", or "good" or "thank you".
To me, using the term "perfect" is reserved for things which actually are perfect.
The fact that I know my own phone number, name, address, whether I'm paying cash, etc. does not warrent that response.

"exactly." don't know why folks use that term to indicate you've understood what they said. I find it sooo irritating!

"ya know what I'm sayin'?"
Presumably, if someone doesn't understand what you just said, they will indicate that, thus allowing you to say it in a different way so that they will.
Some people ask you if you know what they are saying several times during a short conversation. It's become almost as irritating as saying "like" at the beginning of almost every sentence.
If I don't know what you just said I will ask you to explain. If not, yes, I do know what you just said.

Not a word exactly, but I hate how people ask questions they intend to answer themselves, in order to make a point:
"Is this the only hair gel you'll ever need? Is it the only one you'll ever want? No, but it is the only one I'm selling and that's why you should buy it."

any noun that has been turned into a verb:
( how will farting IMPACT on the situation ?)
..or, the addition of "wise" to a word :
( how will farting IMPACT on the situation socially -wise ?)
insertions of bigger words to attempt to de-crude a remark :
( how will A FLATULENT EXPULSION IMPACT on the situation socially -wise ?)
having said the above, I also generally avoid the following words:
szygzy
blastocyst
fistula
groats
felching

Don't we all?  Add to that list:
goitre and gout, because if someone I'm looking at has either one, it would be rude and undignified to attempt to work them into the conversation. Which would seem to leave me attempting to ignore a huge goitre, or say nothing about their obvious gout.
BTW, GG, I blush.

If I never hear the term FINGER-POINTING from a politician attempting to dodge resposibility for stupid decisions again, it will be too soon.
The moment one of them says it, I know that he/she is thisclose to being blamed, with reason, for something they did that had catastrophic consequences. To try to diffuse their responsibility for whatever it is, they want the public to focus on something else.
As far as I'm concerned, if you, the politician who screwed up, want to do your job, don't screw up. Then, nobody will have a reason to point their finger of blame at you.
Sometimes even politicians should have to take their lumps, not get medals and pensions and ride off into the sunset, rewarded for being asses.

Why? Are you an anal-retentive prescriptive grammarian?
Also, the question should be "how will farting impact the situation?" "On" is superfluous. But you do seem to love those scatological references, don't you?
