I know what you mean by cutesie-wootsie lingo but I cannot offer any examples.
Shameful to be sure.

Cutesie-wootsie, overused, and/or trendy expressions I'd like to kill with fire

Annoying. Err, now then.
Hmm. Maybe umm cha-ching. (money) And ice. (for jewelry) How's that?
Not only is it fine, but it also reminds me of yet another expression I hate: "BOOM!" to indicate that a remark was right on target, or to emphasize a point.
By the way, I think the accepted spelling is probably "cutesy" -- I just feel the word cries out for an "ie" on the end (preferably with a heart over the i), especially if it is followed by "wootsie." BOOM!
I'm going with Lavern on this one. Yesterday, someone said to me, "I'm super stoked about it."
Wait. What? Did you just say super and stoked? And where the hell did you find 'stoked'? Of course, I didn't ask all that—just smiled and nodded.

Hey now. I love cray-cray! I also like "because [fill in the blank]."
I hate "[fill in the blank] issues." Also, wrapping one's head around something. Ew. And here I thought eyes glued to the television was gross.
And "[fill in the blank] shaming." I dunno, "I've been shaaaamed" just strikes me as so whiny and babyish. No, you've been called a name, insulted. Of course the intent was to crap on you. Duh.

You don't find it has certain...negative connotations?
But...but they said they were calling me "creative!"

"hot mess" -- as in, "Kim Kardashian's outfit is a hot mess."
"mama bear" -- as in "When that old lady complained about my little Dudley running her down with his bike, I went all mama bear on her."
