Word to 2013

I've seen several other lists of words to avoid for 2013, mostly because of fatigue from overuse.  I would like to add: 
 1) babybump----how was pregnancy ever described previous to the coinage of this graphically repulsive term?
2) amazing-------especially when someone replies to the question asking how you are feeling, and the answer is "I feel amazing!"   Really?
3) I'll return with more later: I need to go throw acid on the TV.
   ......I just heard some reporter talk about "kicking the can down the road." I don't even think they know the actual reference, but it's in vogue to say it.
  ***AND, now that it's a new year, the media is providing us help with our New Year's Resolutions.  They suggest for weight loss to park your car at the far end of the parking lot and walk into your building. and to take stairs instead of  elevators.   Since it's still dark when many arrive at and leave work, and since stairways are usually in secluded areas of buildings, we need to wait for media suggestions on how to deal with crime.  We'll worry about avoiding being mugged after we drop a few pounds.
