Overused Words

[Krazy4Krash]

What are some words that you feel are overused, either in general conversation, or by you personally.

In online conversation, 'lol' is way too overused. It doesn't even mean what it used to, where people would write it to show that they have "laughed out loud", but is now used as filler in a sentence and "continue" a casual discussion.

"It's raining"
*5 Minutes Later
"lol"

-.-

I, myself, really overuse the word 'though', especially to end of my sentences.
For instance, "You look repulsive, but I really like your hair, though." and "Link's Awakening is great. I didn't like it very much, though."
Don't know why, but I use it a lot.

Well, I don't know about a word that wasn't mentioned already, but a certain phrase is becoming very overused: "What it is I'm trying to talk about is I'm trying to talk about snails", or "See, what it is is it's a contraption that let's you call people". Notice how roundabout that approach is in discussion? "What it is" seems to be a prefix or sentence starter of sorts, but it's actually a superfluous way of getting a thought down. I can be just as concise and get the point across just as well by simply saying, "It's a contraption that let's you call people".

Thus, in this manner, "is" can be very overused.

I think "awesome" is overused. It no longer has the same effect as it should. Awesome could now describe anything remotely good. I think this word's use should be toned down, so it can regain the same meaning it used to have.

I use the word "dude" text messaging all too often. For example:

Dude, you want to go to the mall?
Dude, that's awesome!
Dude, wanna chill?
Dude, my girlfriend hates me
Dude, I hate my girlfriend

etc.

This thread....lol
I believe the words, "Bit harsh" are being overused and I'm fed up with seeing people always saying it to situations it doesn't even make sense in. It's not funny nor is it clever, it's pathetic. So can people just stop using it.

I always say "man" at the end of almost every sentence....I probobly sound like an idiot but I can't help it, man.

[theoathtoorder]

agree with Dr3W21-
like literally every one that says literally like literally after every word sounds valley, like.

Personally I find the prefix 'pseudo-' excessively used by people attempting to sound intelligent. I can tell this statement is going to come back to haunt me one day, but it's just something I've observed.

I don't overuse words because I have swag LOL! #YOLO

 

[Big Octo]

Swag, for sure. It's been overused and ruined. Now, when I hear somewhen utter the phrase or see them post it, I'll get fed up, and if the offense is repeated, I might lose some respect for them.

The top 2 most overused and abused words nowadays are "epic" and "awesome". These words are used far too often and are used to describe practically anything and everything that is considered to be very good. I feel like peoples' vocab is becoming really dumbed down when they constantly use these.

Some words I use too much are "probably" and "anyway". Not completely sure why but I tend to use these a lot.
