8. "Me"

Michael Cole would supposedly get a slap on the wrist if he asked Corey Graves, 'Why is Sheamus staring at me?'. Supposedly is a carefully-chosen word there, because the SmackDown announcer has said this several times over the past month alone.

Asking human beings not to use pronouns like 'me' when they're saying thousands of words per broadcast is pretty weird. That is literally the word most people would pick when talking about something relating to them, and it's unrealistic that they'll never say it.

Regardless, it made Vince McMahon's list. He also detests "I", which would be the other choice for most.
