What words do you overuse?

[Alexa]

Online I've realised a post without me saying 'woo!', 'yay' or 'wow' is very rare.

In the real world I say 'about 8 million times' far too much, about 8 million times too much

I also say 'lame', 'cool', 'bastards' and 'epic' far too often.

How's about you?

Re: What words do you overuse?

Online I overuse "lol" "wtf?" (I probably shouldn't have said that one) and "I no, rite?"

In real life, I overuse "Oh my God!" and "Seriously?" My nursing classmates seem to think I use the words "anal sphincter" too much.

lol! the "s word" is a southern tradition! Even my Aunt Maude used to say (when she got hurt or mad) "Well s*** fire and save matches!"

Re: What words do you overuse?

That's actually an interesting question, because most people don't actually realise that they overuse words. Personally I don't actually think I overuse any words. Actually I am certain of that because I'm actually pretty careful when I speak or write. Believe it or now I actually check this sort of thing, because it actually annoys me.

Re: What words do you overuse?

when speaking it's 'Eh' at the end of just about every sentence,It's not my fault though, i'm Canadian so it's something we're all born with here.

In personal emails I say LOL too much... online i use too many brackets in my sentances (no idea why i do this?).

I notice my teenage daughter and her friends say 'like' way too much..it's annoying, eh?

I say Damn it... about it...

on swearing....
I am from Massachusetts, no not Boston! most people assume all people who are from MA live in Boston LOL... so imagine the accent.... Bostonian... diluted. But, up until I met my Husband I used to swear all the time... now almost never unless mad...

Re: What words do you overuse?

"kinda" or "kind of". It seems to be around "kinda" lot at the moment. I am married to a Welshman and the worst thing I picked up from him is saying "see" at the end of every sentance, very irritating, see?

Re: What words do you overuse?

Lol, Kate that made me laugh - I was kind of tired at first and didn't get it - d'uh.

Condor - I quite like that 'see' habit.

Quite a lot of swearers out there. Anyone ever had a swear jar?

Re: What words do you overuse?

Oh Good God! No swear jar here. I would be broke. I blame it on the military. But, I can cut off some horrible language with the best of them.

I say the following alot:

NO!!
Did you clean your room?
Homework?
WTF
come on
spose (Minnesota thing)

Re: What words do you overuse?

I say "epic" all the time. Also, I tend to put "oh" and "hey" in front of a lot of things in IMs. Like "Oh hello" or "hey great".

I also say Lulz. Online and in real life.
