Trendy female buzz words, does "Absolutely" and "You're fine" bug anyone?

Very popular among the better gender these days are a few overused words/responses.

"You're fine" meaning 'no problem' typically used after an informal apology for something trivial.

"Absolutely" meaning an acknowledgment of any kind really. Example, waitress says "absolutely" after every single f'in item ordered at the table.


Am I the only one noticing these two words/phrases?
Feel free to add other to the list.

I just say "hakuna matata."



ETA: And, yes, that's a real expression. I was working in Nairobi, Kenya and while eating in the hotel restaurant I thanked my waiter for filling my water glass. He replied, "Hakuna matata." I said, "What?!?" He told me it means "no problem" in Swahili.

What is wrong with you're fine?

Basically getting across that said informal apology is not necessary.

I understand the meaning/intent I'm just noticing that it's become very popular lately.

I use You're fine all the time. Never thought it was gender exclusive.

I feel like its been around for a good while - both genders seem to enjoy it as an effective way of engaging another person.

Try it out, you may like it

This is weird and not needed.

Actually actually is absolutely the most annoying buzz word that gets thrown around these days. Even my kids are using actually way too much. I counter their actuallies by pretending they said Ashely and it pisses them off.

This one bothers the hell out of me.
It comes across as if they are letting a servant off easy.
