Words that have lost all meaning to you...

Allochtoon. (Dutch word. It's a Dutch glorified version of the word 'foreigner')
First we had the word 'Buitenlander' (which literally means 'someone from outside the country', translate it as 'foreigner') but that word started getting a bad reputation. So, in an effort of political correctness, people started using Allochtoon instead of Buitenlander. Now the word Allochtoon has an even worse reputation.

Any number of words now being used to mean the exact opposite of what their definition is. For example, last time I checked, 'deadly' means something dangerous that can cause death, or something really really boring. These days, I hear it being used to mean something was really cool and/or fun.
Any phrase meaning that one's emotional reaction to something is death. As in, "It was so boring, I almost died!" or "That's so embarassing! If that happened to me I'd just die!".
Interweb(-s) and Internets (plural). Seriously... It's the InterNET (singular) and the World Wide WEB (also singular). And no, the terms are not synonymous. The www is part of the Internet, but so is usenet, non-web-based email services, IRC, etc, etc.
And as has been mentioned before:
"Epic", especially when followed by "win" or "fail". It's an epic victory/failure dammit! Assuming of course that it actually is epic to begin with, which it in all likelyhood isn't. On that topic, win and fail are verbs, not nouns, nor adjectives. "This thread is is win/fail", "This thread is full of win/fail"... Here's another one with the same meaning: "Me no speak English".
Fucking swear words fucking used as fucking filler, fucking know what the fuck I fucking mean?
... Oh, and the phrases "know what I mean?" and "know what I'm saying?".

Fail.
I am so sick of hearing this come out of eight peoples mouths when I die on a video game.. spill a beer.. miss the greyhound.. drop mustard on my shirt.. anything remotely close to anything like that.
Fail.
Fuck you we get it.. it was funny for like a month 3 yrs ago. Shut up!!!

When people say 'literally' when they actually mean quite the opposite.
Oh, and 'Ultimate', especially when applied to games and films. It's never the ****ing 'Ultimate'. If it was, then there'd be no need for another game or film to be produced, as the last one would have attained perfection.

I have to say, the words "thank you" have stopped having any meaning to me now. That and "I'm sorry". Half of the time I say those, ti's only out of courtesy's sake.
At the same time, I've had to make a conscious effort to make sure that "I love you" hasn't lost meaning. I will not say it to people I don't mean it to, these days, and that includes people like my siblings and even my parents. It takes a lot for me to say it these days.
