What's the most irritating word in English?

Whatever you think about using grating words, at the end of the day it's actually better not to say whatever, if you know what I mean.

For the second consecutive year "whatever' topped a Marist poll as the most annoying word or phrase in the English language.

"You what?"

I find this very irritating, impolite and makes me feel like I am stupid and did not explain myself clearly enough to my interlocutor.

I basically find people using the word 'Basically' in basically every sentence at least once if not more. Basically, I think 'Basically' just fits into basically every sentence for the want of another suitable word.
