What words do you most overuse?

[buggie]

...double post!

[ladida]

Used to say 'yes, no, but.....' or vice versa quite a lot and now really hate it when I hear those two words together.

[Brendan]

Not really a word but I have noticed that I have started to begin a great deal of sentences with the words and or but. My high school English teacher would have my hide (the dirty fecker) but I don?t see anything wrong with it.

Because (!) it's something to do with the conjunction of the stars.

buggie, your post made me laugh out loud!

I do exactly the same thing:

"does it really hurt just there?"

"Oowww yes"

"Good"

What I mean, of course, is oh good I know what's wrong with you and what to do.

One word I definitely overuse is the dreadful healthcare worker's pop

"pop on the couch"

"pop your clothes off"

"pop to x-ray"

Ridiculous, but I can't help it.

I'll second "pop", although I don't think you can make that a generic healthcare workers word: nurses word, that is, we was usin' it for ages before you doctors popped on the bandwagon... ;-)

My interested-in-what-you've-said-response for ages was a Jack Sparrow "that's interesting", until pirates 2 and 3 came out, which were so shocking I felt i needed to put some distance between myself and the captain. My glad-i-got-it-right-inappropriate-happy-phrase is a rather shocking, connery-esque "schplendid"...

[celineblondon]

I say "Oh F%ck" a lot but then it sounds nice with an accent apparently

or "tomorrow". I will do the washing up tomorrow. I'll tidy my clothes tomorrow. I stop drinking/ smoking tomorrow:)

For me it's probably 'bollocks'. I also say 'Oof' quite a lot.

Working with people whose first language isn't English, I find myself producing strangely archaic expressions and mixed nursery metaphors quite often. Like I'm channelling a Victorian nanny.

Hehe I like the "pop your clothes off" one...

::o I just found myself saying "certainly, I'll POP some info in the post for you 2day" oh dear!

[jumpinjackflash]

there's a guy at work who constantly impersonates that Bulldog from the Churcill adverts. Now it's in my head and I can't stop saying "Ooohhh Yaaaeesss" everytime someone asks me a question!!

[RosieH]

c**t - I overuse it, I'm not calling you names jjf

dealing with an awful lot of personnel issues at the moment and I say "the one thing I would say to you is..."

there's never one thing. I hate myself as I say it and nod and pretend that I care about their incessant moaning. clearly I am the c**t

louisian quoted: ""Landfill indie""

genius

I spotted it in an article somewhere this week and it so encapsulates what passes for indie these days - kooks my arse

[Keef]

To be fair, some people call the likes of Blink 182 punk!!! WTF?!?!?

[bagpuss78]

I seem to find everything 'hilarious'. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Been going on for about two years now. I think I need to go see someone about it.

Would they find it hilar.... *sigh* even I don't laugh at my jokes anymore.
