Two of mine are:

"very" anything -- If you use the right word for <anything>, you don't need
to say "very"

"unique" when it isn't the ONLY one

These both became pet peeves when our former company president liked to write
marketing hype that he wanted us to put in the first chapters of our manuals.
(He left, and I just had the pleasure of removing about 50 pages of stuff
he wanted in there to stroke his ego.)
