"Hence why"
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.

"Completely different" when the two things are actually very similar
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.

"Oftentimes"
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
Kiddos, especially when used by people in professions that work with kids. Right up there with people who unironically say pupper or doggo. Just say kids.
The exception that proves the rule.
People use it in a way where counterexample proofs that the rule exist when it's supposed to mean that the rule also handles exceptional cases.
“Not me” doing something.
Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.

People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
"Lawfare" meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
"Disinformatsiya" or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
"Sanewashing" to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it's a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about "sanewashsing" and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren't exactly the fucking same as Trump.
Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless
