no no , they say "narmean"?

They say Naw'mean on this side of the pond, almost every other word.

I think K#%wa is the most over used word, I heard conversions where it was the first and last word in a sentence. Like this dude here.

Ewa Drzyzga is sort-of a lighter version of Jerry Springer.. dont expect good dialogues there... Ewa speaks good Polish of course, but her guests.. let's say they aren't from the upper class ;-)

Well, this is interesting.
What is good Polish? - could we find the equivalent in - 'what is Good English'?
Can you name me Polish people whom you would consider 'upper class' and then convince me that if they came to a pre-recorded family show, that this would make good television. The purpose of the programme is to entertain.

It can be used in different ways but when it's used all the time in 1, it grates away.

Here are a few others I find irritating:

no, tak..
Wlasnie
Oczywiscie (sorry for the spelling!)
strazsny i okropny
prosze Pana (often used before expressing a condescending view, like in" you really don't get it, mate")

and in english (oops sorry american..):

dude
like

and my all times worst

Hi guys (especially when adressed to a group including females !!)

Like... has been used in regional English for quite some time.

This from a Geordie (Newcastle) website.
"while sentence final like as in "who says, like?" or "it's not my fault, like" may request or provide exemplification".
