One overused word that was left out is literal or literally.
literal - adhering to fact or to the ordinary construction or primary meaning of a term or expression : actual c: free from exaggeration or embellishment d: characterized by a concern mainly with facts
How often do I hear people use the word literally an then go on to offer a figurative or exaggerated instance of the word to which they are referring.

Literally couldn't agree more. :)
There's quite a few other candidates as well IMV, e.g.: "obviously", "typically", and of course the all-pervasive "love".
