The list is out indicating the top five most annoying words and expressions of 2012.

According to the Marist Poll, here are the annoying words used in conversations. Marist questioned 1,246 adults in a U.S. nationwide, telephone survey.

Results showed differences by age and regions, with people younger than 45 or in the Northeast especially annoyed by "like," while "you know" offended more of the 45-and-over set.

Men and women gave similar responses overall, but whites were twice as likely as non-whites to find "you know" irritating. And people under 45 were more than twice as likely as those over 45 to be put off by "just sayin.'"

    "Whatever"
    "Like"
    "You know"
    "Just sayin'"
    "Twitterverse" and "Gotcha"

"Whatever" was on top of the list for the third consecutive year. Even though it is the most annoying, people still use it. That's why it keeps making the list. This year 32 percent adults said they didn't like the word.

"Like" was second with 21 percent adults who didn't like it.

Runners-up included "Twitterverse" and "gotcha'." These words tied for the 5th slot.

But "seriously," named by 7 percent last year, dropped off the list entirely this year.
