Most Overused Word

We all have our little catchphrases -  you know, those annoying words or phrases we say TOTALLY say way too much? These are the words or phrases that find their way into almost every email or comment. The words we drop into almost every conversation without even thinking.

What’s yours?

    Definately “dude” and “totally.” Also can’t get away from “heck yeah.” Thanks for reminding me I suck and have no personality.

    I use the word “anyway” way too much. I use it a lot in emails as I tend to take too manner side trips while trying to make my point. I then use the word –anyway– to get back on track. I catch myself doing that in conversation some but now like an email or a comment on a blog. ANYWAY

    @Harold – Yeah, easy to do. I catch myself inserting it when I’m rambling.

    @KelliBrownlee – There’s a big difference between “dang” and “DAAAAANNNNNNGGGG” :-) I probably couldn’t pull the latter off

    @Geo – I was just hanging with @cdenning and he says that A LOT!

    @Lynse – Soooo…when you say “w.t.f” do you just say the letters or do you actually say What the ****?

    @evan – fo shizzle? Really??

    @ConiAndress – Keep saying it. Nothing makes you feel younger than calling someone dude.

    @CJMills – I guess I didn’t picture you as the “wicked” type

    @Nikki – Most of the people I know that use “like” a lot are 15 year old girls.

    Lately, I’ve been saying “AMAZING” a lot.

    I’ve been finding lots of things in my blog community that simply amazes me.

    But I think I need to change the word, lest my blogger friends would think it’s just an annoying expression of mine, that I don’t mean it when I say the word.

    ;-)

    ( :-) too. But now, I prefer the ;-) )
