ive caught myself injecting “you know…” way more often than im comfortable with now that im paying attention
i do not like like
my bad
i'm in a dnd group and the gm likes to respond to almost every question from a player with "i will say..." and it drives me crazy. and now when i hear it out in the real world, my brain flashes back to his responses and it makes me irrationally annoyed.

now i notice this every time someone else uses it and it is ubiquitous
I cannot shake "um.." if it meant saving my own life. Annoying myself with it.
got me thinkin about thos; steakums
The continual misuse of "literally." Especially if it's used multiple times in a span of, I dunno, five minutes?
That's generous. Anyway, those people, and there are many, are failing heavily.
Their future is uncertain and potentially very dark. Fuck 'em.

That reminds me of a tech i worked with a while back. she was surveying someone for a class project and used "like" 37 times (yes, i actually kept a count) in the span of about 6 minutes. i still don't think she knows what a simile is.
That cracked me the hell up.redchiron said:

My family used to rag on me for "the other day ago"
Apparently it's supposed to be just "the other day" ... I dunno.
Also for "apparently" which then got even worse after the apparently kid video. So I cut down on it big time, but now my one sister has taken up the mantle on that... she's apparently-ing waaay too much these days.

my family starts every fucking new thought with "now"
but like a country drawled "naoww"
makes me want to crawl back into my hollar

I joined Toastmasters a few months ago. It has really helped me with filler words like "you know" "so" and "well."
Before that, once I hear someone say "uh" or "um" more than twice in the same sentence, I literally have refrain from either literally leaving the convo or literally calling them out. When I see someone interviewed on TV and they literally bust out the "uh' or "um" all credibility is lost and I literally have to watch something else...

"Tic", you dork.what verbal tick others have on there that drives you crazy on there?
I found myself saying "Interesting/ly" a lot and realized that it happened when I felt expected to say something but didn't know what.The continual misuse of "literally."
So I excised it from my speech and it was effective.
Not all that relevant to the "literally" phenomenon, just that making a rule can help with more thoughtful speech.
When people say, since I'm running out of time I will sum up.... If you are running out of time, don't waste time saying that, just make your summary
I keep trying to think of more but it turns out I'm just a teacher and Gen Alpha have brains that run on slurs and Roblox or whatever.
this is getting into gen-isms
but "its giving" is giving me a stronk
it sounds so fucking stupid i hate it thank

Yeah. People really go wild picking up on ballroom and AAVE etc without any connection to the cultures and jarring and cringeworthy.
Someone said something about “opening the kimono” and I think I wanted to die
Sometimes you see someone type "y'all" and, like, you can hear it, and it's not good?
I did look this up, and I don't like that one bit.“opening the kimono”
It gets worse with every passing reflection.
"opening the kimono dragon"
Makes sense.fear7trembling said:I found myself saying "Interesting/ly" a lot and realized that it happened when I felt expected to say something but didn't know what.

For all intents and purposes
For all insensitive purposes.
For all in tents and porpoises.

no word in particular, but the tendency for someone to use particular words and absurd amount of times throughout the day
recent examples are asinine and titrate. you don’t hear them very often in normal conversation, but since someone in our vicinity used them once, i have to hear them in every other sentence for the next month…
at work, it’s “force multiplier”. people keep using that term like they’re getting royalties off it

yup, that’s another
that one had a force multiplier on there of at least 300 in the last year at our studio if that makes sense
Help me out please...
Is it...
"I got out of the car" or "I got off of the car?"
Half my family says "I got in/out of the car" and the other half says "I got on/off the car"
Its small potatoes and it used to drive me crazy, not so much anymore though

apologies if your family is/are the clampetts
There is a history there: some vehicles were open top, and like a van or a bus, so it made sense to say "off" or "on" as opposed to enclosed vehicles, where you got "in" or "out".
did i not mention the gd clampetts twice
Not until just now, no.
You dumb hick.
You dumb hick.
