美国圣母学院公众舆论研究所的一项年度调查结果显示，“随便”（Whatever）一词连续三年被选为年度最让美国人讨厌的词汇。

Do you want to kill a conversation? Try saying "whatever."

Words like "you know" and "like" might be irritating to hear, but for the third year in a row, it's "whatever" that holds the most power to annoy, according to an annual survey by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

Nearly four in 10 adults named "whatever" as the most annoying verbal（口头的） filler in casual conversation, while one in five adults had similar disdain¹（蔑视） for "like" and 'you know."

"Just sayin'" and "seriously" were more forgiving to the ears, though still quite irritating, Marist found.

The telephone survey of 1,026 adults nationally had a margin² of error of three percentage points.
