What lyrics errors sound like nails on the chalkboard to you?

For me....

1) rhyming on the weak syllable. Once in a while you can get away with it but normally it sounds, well, WEAK. Ugh.
2) bad grammar. This can be somewhat subjective (for example, in country I don't expect much).
3) cliches
4) overuse or misuse of rhetorical devices
5) theft, even when accidental

BTW, I'm not a member of the Grammar Police. As with EVERYTHING in music, there are exceptions to rules!

How about you?
