Clearly
Overused by lawyers everywhere in verbose legal briefs. The typical lawyer believes that use of this word will automatically reveal that the proposition they advance is beyond question, as in "Clearly, the DMCA is a narrowly tailored statute designed to achieve a permissible purpose..." Once the word "clearly" is used the reader's judgment is paralyzed and they are forced to accept the proposition.
