Earlier today, right out of nowhere, "paper doily" popped into my head.

Doily truly is a loathsome word and should be scrubbed from the English language with immediate effect.

I hate the word 'like' when it is just thrown into a sentence without need.
My kids interject their sentences with the word several times..adding to the length but not the detail of what they are saying. I actually asked them to try to stop saying it and they couldn't!!

Yes, starting a sentence with look comes across as very aggressive.

I also think it sounds very patronising, like you are talking down to the person you are addressing.
