Starfox64x Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Have you caught yourself using certain words often? not like basic words, specialty words...I'm sure you're still confused, so let me tell you mine... I notice i use 'however' a lot... whenever i find something contradictory i use it... "I like Chocolate Bars, however i hate dark chocolate" or something... i notice myself using it a lot.Then i use 'more so' a good bit as well... I usually spell it 'moreso', even though i know it's suppose to be two words...I dunno, its just a thought that came to mind and i'm curious if anyone else has noticed the same about themselves...

ChancellorPuddinghead Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I use the word 'actually' far too often - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker_Izing Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I use "perphars" a lot, since the movie "Maybe baby" the word "maybe" gives me A-holeRash...And as a self-centered cretin, I use "I" a fair share too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 A few years ago, I learned that words like "very" "extremely" do not actually add meaning to your writing. My usage of them was high.I might have said in the past "In my opinion, Fall Weather Friends is the very best episode" for example. I have been very conscious of removing these words from my vocabulary of late.Other subtractions are things like "In my opinion", which also adds nothing to anything subjective since it is obvious that it is a preference. I use thus more than anyone elseI love "thus"! "Therefore" as well.My catchphrase was "really?" until people started pointing it out. I had no idea I was doing it, and though I liked it, I naturally stopped because I became self conscious of it.Though I do not type it often, verbally I use "Indeed" as my go to affirmative answer.

Folly Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I... I say "hot dog" and "cool beans"...As far as actual WORDS go, I use "indeed" "lovely" and "fabulous" a LOT more than the average person... irl moreso than online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 "thingermajinger" is another word I use a lot in real lifeOh we're talking about mad-up words too? When somone says something I didnt hear I restand "whadawhadawhoha?"I use "lol" way too much on the 'net, I tend to use it as a punctuation mark to mean "this is funny" or "this is a joke" or "this is not serious" which means it gets used a LOT since I tend to be funny a lot I find myself using "cool" after many years or fighting it. I'm not big on slang, and for the longest time refused to use it. Likewise "Awesome" gets too much use. And as of late I find myself using the words "Rainbow" and "Dash" WAY too often in the same sentance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frain Breeze Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I tend to use "or something" and "really" phrases way too much, IRL and online.Online only, I seem to use "lol" and "hehe" almost like punctuation. I really need to stop that, or at least find something that adequately expresses "I got your message but don't really have anything to say on the matter."

I really need to stop that, or at least find something that adequately expresses "I got your message but don't really have anything to say on the matter."For a while, I thought "ack" for "acknowledged" was about to catch on. It would have given you a three letter way to confirm without needing to say anything else. You will notice that this usage has a presence on urban dictionary, but most of the time that I tried it, confusion was created and the efficiency was lost.

Legit101 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I use, "probably", "maybe" and "obviously" a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Cakes Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 oh, another thing I do a lot is say obliviously, but I use it wrong. you know how when people take forever to get something, then somebody says "obviously". I like to say "obliviously" instead just to sound stupid I also use the word awesome a lot. I used to hate that word, but now I use it all the time.when I loose my train of thought, I start repeating the phrase "and then" over and over without realizing it until the fourth or fifth repetition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I use "sweet!" and "right on!" a lot. Along with "negative" and "roger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I also use the word awesome a lot. I used to hate that word, but now I use it all the time.I went through an "awesome" phase, until I was using it often for things that were not particularly awe inspiring. I try not to use it unless I am suitably amazed. Through persistent and deliberate training, I have changed it to "good". It has however escaped the "awesome" slot and is now used by me in place of other phrases and words like "ok" "will do"I've caught myself using it 4-5 times in a 10 minute time slot, but I am ok with that because it is better than flinging "awesome" around all willy-nilly.

Tenkan Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well, basically, I basically use the word basically a little too often.It's a very basic word, I know, but you get what I mean.Basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalakio Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm sure everyone has these kinds of words that they repeat endlessly, but since nopony's pointed mine out to me, I can't think of what it might be. I try to keep my vocabulary relatively mixed up. Once, during spoken conversation, I realised I'd been replying with "Well, yes." quite a lot, just because I couldn't think of anything else to say.Ooh, actually, I say 'I suppose' and 'I don't suppose' quite a bit.

Starfox64x Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm so glad that i'm not the only one who's noticed this about themselves =3I've also noticed i actually say 'okey dokey loki" a bit now... Thanks Pinkie...I also say 'dude' when i'm talking to people... usually at the beginning of sentences, "Dude can you grab that for me?" "Hey dude, whats up?"... I'm the whitest person i know, hehe...Thingamadooglelabob (Thing-a-ma-doo-gull-la-bob) is also something i do... dont know why or how... just do...I also say No Problem very often... my manager is trying to get me to stop saying that to customers... apparently it's in the handbook, the CEO hates it. apparently when he was a waiter somewhere as a kid, he said it to a customer and the customer replied "Why would it ever be a problem?" and apparently that messed with his head, so now he hates it.

Doc Hoof MD Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I usually use the words "usually" and "quite" quite often.I also use the word "Like" A LOT in spoken conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crp_dude Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have an unfortunate tendency to abuse the word "apparently". Also, I say "thusly" in place of thus, and apparently it isn't a real word. Feels like it ought to be though, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
