Well, he's probably getting more than 1 item.

In my experience, hearing "It's all good" as a response to anything means (100% of the time) that whatever IT is, it's not all good.

[ChrisE]

One real word that I think has become overused is “ubiquitous.”

I see it everywhere.

[AmericanEagle]

I can’t stand when people say anywho.
Also, what-not.
Also, double negatives, as in, I don’t have nothing.

[guitar george]

I taught him all I know and he still don't know nothing.
