There are two: “Whatever” and…............“irregardless”.

@wundayatta Wow, it speaks!! I was referring to the wife on top, what the hell you were thinking of is another story entirely.

wundayatta's avatar

@ucme My apologies. My imagination was too narrow. I was thinking you meant when you were on top. Best of luck to you!

Wait! How can you overuse those words?

@Aesthetic_Mess I’d say a few times a week.

@john65pennington You do realize it should be regardless if you are going to overuse the word?

Bonus points to whoever knows what that is from.

“F*cking”. I blame my boyfriend who sounds very much like Denis Leary. I wasn’t nearly the potty mouth I am now before I met him.

“Amazing”. (describing something I like or enjoy a lot)

And “Huh??” when I’ve been off playing with unicorns instead of paying attention! :p

Awesome and ”:)” but I don’t think I’ve used them on Fluther yet… umm…

JLeslie's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Sweet as in cool? Or, sweet as in awww?

I just noticed that I use “just” too often. see, it even showed up in that sentence It’s started to annoy me whenever it comes out now.

“Really”—never as an affirmative response to something (“That was a great dinner.” “Really!”) but just as an intensifier (I am really likely to really overuse the word just really all the time unless I am really vigilant).

If I’m writing, I try to go back and cut out all or nearly all instances, but when I’m speaking, I’m afraid I just really leave a trail of empty-adverb clutter behind in my used speech balloons.

Actually way too much; it just seems to fit so often. F**k when I’m about to burst vessels in my head- such a satisfying sound.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@JLeslie Sweet as in “cool”. I do it all the time.

Blueroses's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate if you had named yourself WillWorkForPretzels, would your expression have been “Salty!”
