Most overused words by bassists

Well, I'm gonna go against the grain and say there probably aren't any words MORE important (IMO) than "groove" and "pocket" for a bassist's vocabulary.
Oh, and please don't look at my sig
EDIT: My vote for most over used word is "best".
I love this thread, you are right about guitard, cannot be over used,
BUTTTT!!!! what about PHAT!?

I've wanted to post a rant about generally overused phrases before but I knew it was irrelevant on a forum on bass playing. But since we're sort of on that topic, here are a few words and phrases that I am really tired of hearing:
"Old School"
"Back in the day"
"At the end of the day"
"Awesome"
and:
"That's what I'm talkin' about." (Usually uttered by someone who doesn't know what he's talking about or someone who was talking about something else entirely.)

Cat.
I dunno, maybe its a jazz thing (Im sure it goes way back,) but Ive always said cat. I still do, even outside of music.

I think that's more of a cultural thing though. Like, what alla dem guys said back in the 60s and 70s, like, that cat is groovy dude.
