The overused word thread!

[sweet_dee]

• Totally (never "totes"!! I swear!)
• Anyway (usually with an eyeroll to accompany it)
• Fuck (and its variations: fucking, fucked, etc)

I'm guilty for those 3 also plus "Technically..."

My niece says "I know right?!?!" all the time even in texting and it drives me up the wall

 

[newbiebabe]

For me it'd have to be "seriously?"

Or "Oh for Pete's stinking sake!"... lol

 

[Fractured_Soul]

The phrases "do you" and "don't you". I ask a lot of questions about kinks, fetishes and what my chat partners find pleasurable.

Ya know

And I never did it until I hired my Deputy PM a few years ago. He can't get through a sentence without saying it at least 5 times.

It rubbed off and I hate it.

 

[VA_Boy]

With that being said...

 

[LusterMunky]

I perhaps use the word 'perhaps' too much.

 

[dutchrain]

i really should find an alternative for 'though'.

 

[Cymru6969]

Two words, but the phrase "just sayin'" irks me.
It is akin to walking away from a conversation without really "saying" anything.

Okay. Now that I've read the OP, I would say that I am guilty of using too many contractions.

 

[Dogma52]

I overuse the word "Wow!"

But it bothers me to hear people using "I could care less" when the proper phrase is "I couldn't care less!" Sorry.... it's in my kitchen.

[SweetSam42]

Can I post one that I don't use, but that I hear too often and hate?

"It is what it is"

What does that even mean? Of course it is!

 

[MelissaG1]

Okay I have a co-worker that always ends his statements with the words:

Can you feel me!

It gives me the creeps when he talks to me.

Oh wow, this is really going to out myself, but whatever...

That is nothing compared to being confined with a group of African American gentlemen and you hear that phrase about 80,000 times even before lunch!

 

[Aquagal]

Honestly
Basically
I want to share (that is stupid, just tell me, instead of putting some AA spin on it)
And you're an idiot if you say irregardless

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

I tend to overuse "fuck" a lot with an occasional "frack" tossed in.

It's phrases that get me, like when I'm talking with someone and all I get is; "I know" "I know" "I know"

Or they're talking and I get "You know what I mean, I mean you know what I mean"

I stop talking to such people.

Exactly. I hear you.

 

[Backdoor_Bella]

I live overseas and share useless American pop culture with my friends here, which they find fascinating. one of the things I've told them about is people using the word 'totes', and we have started saying it sometimes as an inside joke.

but don't exile me! I can't see myself ever using that word with anything less than sarcasm, and I won't even allow my lips to form the word 'amazeballs'

 

[ydahecnot]

Irl, "awesome"

Here, "lol" and i hate using it, it's just so darn easy...

LMAO

Anyhoo, on Lit, juxtaposition is overused. There are other 10-plus J words, people

 

[Anomaly1964]

Epic...
Stunning...
Amazing...

Just to name a few...
