I'm not aware of overusing any words, but there is a phrase that annoys me..."you know". I get really annoyed when someone is talking and every other word is "you know"! Arrrrrrrrgh...it drives me nucking futs you know!!!  |

"totally" |

I don't conjecture that there is one. Someone else might conjecture otherwise. I conjecture that it is too subjective for me to be that self-critical. The way I conjecture it, I would really have to see an example of it...starring me right in the face. You conjecture? The repeated use of some stupid word used ad infinitum to the point where no one could possibly not conjecture that it was being used to excess!
I just don't conjecture that happening... |

I don't know. I don't say much. Good survey though. |

"like" |

I've been saying like a lot these days. |
| TeddyMiller | | posted 16-Aug-2002 9:09am |
Tuesday. For some reason, whenever I think what day of the week it is, I immediately think Tuesday before coming up with the right day. |

The "F" word  |
| Enheduanna | | posted 16-Aug-2002 11:16am |
I've noticed that I use the word "really" a lot. I also say "like" a lot. So, like, I guess I'd really want to get rid of one of those. I've also noticed that I use the phrase "you know" a lot, and I don't like that much either. |

"Like". I need to find some new Valley Girl slang  |

"the"...I like a challenge. |
Iseult  | | posted 16-Aug-2002 12:08pm |
It is not an English word, but whatever. It is 'znaci', and I never use it in English, but if it is an English word, than those are: 'heresy', 'therefore', and 'ominous'. |
| anoddoblivion | | posted 16-Aug-2002 2:07pm |
One word? Well, I don't think I overuse any, but a cuss word would be a good one. |

50,000. I say "I've told you 50,000 times", "I have 50,000 things to do" or whatever the case is. Anytime I feel overwhelmed or some such, I use the number 50,000. Now my 7 yr old does it. |
Galomorro  | | posted 16-Aug-2002 9:19pm |
The words "moot" and "moot point." I somehow latched on to this word/phrase and find myself mumbling it far too often! But then I don't say it half as often as I hear some people at work say in practically every sentence such things as "See what I'm sayin?" People do not realize the things they say over and over that other people find quite repulsively repetitive. |
| Frostbrand | | posted 17-Aug-2002 1:40am |
I'm told I say 'actually' way too much. |
| Frostbrand |
I never get tired of that phrase, nucking futs. Maybe I should make that the title of my next screenplay! And I'd lay ten-to-one odds those MPAA fudges wouldn't know what it meant.  |
| darkshadowsseeker |
Probably not considering they allow obscenities like Glitter and Crossroads to be released with a rating lower than "X"! |

I've been really good about "Actually" and "And stuff" but I still use "like" too much! |
| Iseult | | (reply to kaleb777) posted 17-Aug-2002 8:32pm |
Whatever is wrong with our society, I called it 'the heresy'. Eg, teenagers disrespecting their parents - that's heresy to me. And whatever is scary, or whatever, I describe it as ominous. |

the phrase "you know" at the end of my sentences. |
| dora | | posted 23-Aug-2002 4:54pm |
Don't know in English...maybe "actually" but I'm not sure.
In Italian is surely "hai presente?" and "Praticamente"...and starting sentences with the word "no".
"Praticamente" is really like "actually" and "hai presente" is similar to "you know" or "do you understand"I guess.

I only have days where I over use particular words. |
| Bibliophile | | posted 12-Sep-2002 3:51pm |
I can't really think of anything I would stop overusing. As a teenager I know I used the word like way too much, but I think I have finally broken myself of that habit. |
| Frostbrand | | posted 12-Sep-2002 4:41pm |
Um, is it just me or did all the comments disapear? Maybe it's just my computer but right now I'm ONLY seeing Bibliophile's comment. |

Ciao dora, sei italiana? Non sapevo! (Sarebbe possibile cancellare "va bene" oppure "managgia" ???) |

When I'm Queen, a hefty fine will be given to anyone caught using "real" as an adverb.
(i.e. real fast)
And same goes for the use of "literally" to stress a figurative statement.
Repeat offenders will have to take English classes- really boring ones too (same concept of court judges who require drunk drivers to attend AA meetings).
Did I mention a hefty fine?

| joachim | | (reply to wererat) posted 4-Oct-2002 7:17pm |
While I am quite tolerant of "real", I agree with you about "literally". I've had people say things like "I was so mad, my head literally blew apart" and I've thought "if only". |
