[Less]

There are a few of them out there, words that we the ignorant populous have never heard of until they are pushed into the foreground and end up being used at every opportunity by people that feel a need to be 'groundbreaking' (Hmm? Is that one of them) and on the 'cutting edge' (another?) of intellectual language.

My main example is innovative, it is now used almost everywhere to mean 'Groundbreaking' which itself seems to have been brought into popularity a few years ago to replace such words as creative, experimental and imaginative.

In themselves nothing wrong with these words but when overused they can become mildly irritating when dropped into a conversation or narration.

There are other over used words which ones can you think of?
