Well, I for one won't believe that iconic is the most overused one until we start seeing some civil lawsuits about it.

How about use the word only when it's iconic.

Fair to call the T206 Wagner iconic or the Iwo Jima photo iconic.

I appreciated the TPG for this card. Made me chuckle. Would you call it "infamous"?

Ben, it might be time to create a follow-up card, and eventually a Checklist (the way things are going).

Perhaps the next version can feature Mathis/Sloan/Probstein as the Second Series ****Face Trio.

I did not create that card. Someone posted it on here and I just copied it and made a few. The only thing I did was remove the Topps logo it had on it. I think there was 4 or 5 different ones.

I disagree

Super is the most overused word right now and it drives me crazy

"I am super pumped for this opportunity"

"I am super excited"

"This card is super incredible"

Arrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh

The term that most annoys me is "unanswered" in sports. Anytime a team strings together some run of consecutive points, that term seems to be said by the announcer. "Unanswered" would seem to be "not answered", so even if you scored three consecutive touchdowns, once the other team has scored, the "unanswered" is gone. Plus, it isn't really that great of a term anyway.

What ever happened to after a "thank you" a simple "you're welcome"?

Instead we get a "no problem". That bugs me.

C'mon Mike. Even I say "no prob" fairly often. I consider it a you're welcome sometimes. Maybe I will have to reconsider that phrase.
My least favorite, overused word is "amazing".
