Verbal Tic (how much, phone, articles, people)

[Ro2113]

I seem to have this abnormal habit of saying the word dude a lot. Is there any particular word that you tend to say a lot unconsciously?

(and please no articles or conjunctions people)

Like, you know, like, are you like trying to say that I'm like stupid? Also, hold on or hang on. So, hang on, are you like trying to say I'm like stupid?

What? What did you say? it's an age thing for me.

Spoiler

And when I was 20 something it was "you talking to me?"

I am not sure about verbal ticks... Nor, if habitual word usage qualifies... I use several words allot especially when driving- "ick-day ead-hay" (with the windows rolled up of course) And yall know how much I say "yall"

I have a habit of saying "ya know" a lot. I'm very aware of it and try to curb it, but...ya know.

I do tend to say "bless your heart" when i'm around annoying people.

Just to clarify, that's southern for **** you, ** yours, **** dead and various other things depending on the situation and your tone of voice.

I was told at work not to say "no problem" whilst on the phone. grrrr...and I keep saying it, unintentionally.

Why? There's no problem with saying no problem on the phone.

No, but I have a few I tend to say a lot quite consciously.

I use the word "wonderful" way too much. Need to come up with some more adjectives when I think something is wonderful!
