A language monitering group has released the word of the year: Refugee
Due to the large amount of news coverage and conversations about the displaced persons from Katrina, the word refugee was cited as the most commonly heard word. Also on the list was tsunami, Katrina, pope, and Chinglish.
The phrase of the year is "Out of the mainstream" and the most internationally used word was "OK."

I had no idea they did this, but if got me thinking about the most commonly used word that I use on a daily basis. What are some words or phrases you find yourself using more than others?
For me:
"Like"
"Good deal"
Most common phrase for my is "horribly wonderful and you?" This derives from customers or people really not caring how you are its just a simple jester of curtesy. So I make them think, and it covers both good and bad days!
The most common word for my is "copy". When dealing with 15-45 employee's needing money exchanged or a Manager to a certain part of the store. I use this at least 1000 times a weekend night.
