Words/Phrases You Over-Use

NoDayBut2Day

So what is something you say all the time.. your "signature word or phrase" if you will?

I tend to say "interesting" or "cute" a lot. I need new adjectives! :rolleyes:

What about you?

qz

Someone: "What was I about to say...".
Me: "Don't know, you haven't said it yet".

Alvis

"Smashing"

Got hooked on saying it from the Simpsons episode where they go to London.

Larianne

Deadly!
And at the moment for some strange reason I am saying "God Dam" a lot.

Vikings

Ever since wednesday (ireland match) i've been saying ridiculous a lot.

Rhyme

I definitely say 'fair enough', 'interesting' (with eyebrow raised) and 'superb' too much

Pitseleh

'sure', 'like' and 'really?' - that one bugs me. If somebody tells me something like "I walked my dog yesterday", I'll inexplicably reply "Really?" as if I don't believe them.

Nightwish

"hold on to your receipt for your guarantee" and it rarely works

Sparky

"cheers" or "grand"

Rantorama

Mmm,yeah I know,

Given as an answer to:

(a)Something I'm not really interested in.

(b)Someone who not interested in the answer,just the sound of the their own voice asking pointless questions.

Pighead

Pigheads about half way into town and you can bet you're bottom dollar he'll come out with the "Oh fiddlesticks,I think i left the left ring on the cooker on again".

airetam_storm

"Christ on a bike" as an exclamation of suprise

"Cheers mate" instead of thank you :rolleyes:

\Edit\ "Im definatly over her this time" is becoming phrase of the year for me

Crucifix

"Bizarre"

Tiriel

"I don't know" I keep saying it and it's really beginning to annoy me!! Think it was only when it was pointed out to me that I say it a lot, that I realised how much I actually say it. :eek:

Endurance Man

"Im over it".

I'm the same way. I didn't realize how much I say "cute" or "yeah" (forgot to mention that one) until someone pointed it out. Now I catch myself saying it... hehe

Diarmsquid

"Really?" or "Seriously?" in a really enthusiastic voice.
Makes the person who's talkin feel that what they're saying is very interesting.
Then they go on and on...
I should really stop.

jezza

Sweeeeeet
Hun

Seriously? Haha
I over use a lotta words..

"aye"
"zing" [stolen from the tinternet]
"sonny"
"chappy"

As a phrase I completely overuse the quotes "I'm not even mad. ... thats amazing! and "By the beard of zeus"

*MmmPie*

I say 'like' farrrrr too much.

i'm so glad noone has admitted to being one of those arseholes who stick "izzle" at the end of their words...god they're SO SO annoying.

Piste

Aside from making up words....

I say 'Legend!' and 'Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick!' quite alot.

Somnus

Grand
F**k
and whenever i'm talking about something and theres a pause i always say "but,em" way too much

larryone

Using tastic as a suffix to almost everything. Overusetastic!

Like, I was just about to say that like

dawballz

I've been saying 'Like' for the last while and it's annoying me a lot.

Of course, those are my two favourites, "im over it" and "and its all good" .

Sparky

"emmm"

Munurty

While me and me buds were in majorca we realised that we said
"actually" way too much. Every time someone else said it everyone else would say it back.

haha.. I went through a phase of saying "it's all good" too...

Jimi-Spandex

"intriguing......" coupled with the raised eyebrow for effect.

Usually when I'm talking to someone with really bad english and I haven't a clue what they just said.

Dizzyblabla

"Fabulous" (only in a really sarcastic tone, when something annoying has happened)
"Ahh Bless" - it's even driving me nuts now!
sooo (as in soo funny, soo annoying etc...)

Ravage1616

"ya tit" or "no bother" use them all the time!!

Not as annoying as the arseholes who use the word like every second word, izzle means nothing, like means something, the over- and extra-grammatical use of the word like cheapens its actual mean, not to mention drives me round the twist.

They should really hand out earplugs getting on the Luas to Sandyford for that very reason.

teresasaunt

sham, vermen, wow.

Aisling(",)

"know what I mean" can't go five minutes without saying it
"Ah thats class/Classic" annoying me now

Civilian_Target

"Huge" and "Yore Ma"

Most annoying over used word ever is "Like".

DublinWriter

Beginning every sentance with

1. Actually...
2. At the end of the day...
3. To be honest...

I'm so ashamed.

Red Alert

like, you know, honestly.

thejovialhost

"class" and "weird"
I need new adjectives

curliq

biscuit!

can replace most nouns...or just about everything

also "lovely biscuits" - while rubbing hands together, means great, lovely stuff

conversation while playin gaa:
"ah, he's gone for the biscuit"
"here, lads, pass the biscuit!"
"thats the biscuit!"
"what the biscuit was that for?"
"dozy biscuit"
etc etc
