I thought about the parameters and decided to include all humanity all the way back to paleolithic caveman days. To be as general as possible. Some words are more regional and some to specific time periods but with intense concentrations to daily life, i.e. they were said hundreds of times a day by large populations which that might make up for that. Many societies have or had different customs for daily speech and times focused on different scenarios.
(And feel free to add any I've not considered!)


So here it goes:
1). "Food" which would include Gohan/Mi/Baifan(rice) and other standard meal descriptions, but not specific terms such as meat or vegetables or hunting.

2). "God" which would include all monolithic names but not more generalized terms like the heavens/spirits/karma/fate/etc.

3). "Hello" which would include all regional specific proximity greetings, but not hey you/other vague forms of getting someone's attention.

4). "Hurry" which would include terms for working faster or walking terms like run.

5). "I/Me/We/Us" which would include individual or a group.

6). "You" which would include you all and plural forms.

7). "Mother" or "Father" which would not include terms such as patriarchal government leader or homeland or a form of controlling entity over all.

8). "Dear/honey/etc" which would include all terms for affection not just familial pet names or enamourous advances.

9). "Caesar/Hitler/Mao/Khan/King/Emperor/etc" and all titles not just specific to one person.

10). "For sale" which would include generic words for offering something for trade
