"At the end of the day".
It's getting to the point that when I hear this phrase I want to choke the person that used it.

How about starting sentances with
"I Guess" very American
Also in New England(not sure about the rest of the country) the use of the phrase
"I'm all set"
What are you talking about, all set for what? The person just asked you if you were finished and you sound like you are just about to start a race!!
"wicked"
free speech (especially on this board)
US Intelligence
compassionate conservative
collateral damage

Look no further, these examples are why America is turning into a worthless/windless country. The masses want to talk like and act like idiots. By 2020 we will no longer be the world dominant power, it will be China followed by the USA and a close Japan, maybe even an ever evolving India. If you care what happens to this country start teaching your children (0-5 years old, after that corporate and idiot America-no, not Green Day- will have them under control) now before it is to late.
Tyler,
please go tell that to GW Bush. The US is on the verge of bankruptcy. You are only powerful as you are rich.

Another midwestern (or at least Indiana) thing..
"My car needs fixed". Or, "my lawn needs mowed". WTF? How much harder is it to say "My lawn needs TO BE mowed". Sheesh.

The worst American Phrase is "my bad"...the next person to say that to me is going to get a punch in the teeth...then I'll say, oh, "my bad?".
I agree on this one. If there was one phrase I could make a law against it would be this. If they say "my bad" they are saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake!" So they are replacing "mistake" with "bad". If you were talking about this in a different context would you say, "Oh, I guess I made a BAD?"
It sounds like a kindergartener. Like when a little kid with limited vocabulary says, "I made a boo-boo."
Have higher standards for your children than to let them talk like babies until middle school. Also, have higher standards for yourself than to allow yourself to talk like that.

Also "jump off"
"Why do you have those rubber gloves on?"
"It´s the medical jump off, yo!"

"Going forward," as in, "The company's revenues have been declining for 4 straight years, but the stock price is on the rise, so I see lots of executives strapping on golden parachutes going forward."
This phrase seems to be a holdover from the days when it looked like everyone and his dog was going to get rich off the stock market, so people were willing to act as though they were impressed by this kind of pretentious blather.
I predict that it will now die a mercifully quick death.
Sonny boy, welcome to what Warren Buffett realized seven years ago. Of course, that's why he's Warren Buffett, and not some dot com casualty :)
My phrase is:
I'll use my credit card.
Too legit to quit
Yeah, we should follow Chinas example. Thats the ticket.
