Seriously, have you ever found yourself addicted to a word?

What I mean is, have you ever found that there is a word that you are using almost constantly?

And no words like, the, a, etc, of course.

I started the first post of this thread with the word I am addicted to. "Seriously". The main reason I believe this has happen is I have made it a defensive measure in most of my posts.

Over the beginning months that I first became an Escapist member, I had lots of people quoting me and asking if the view points I make are serious, or if I am just joking around or trolling.

So, I guess it has become a habit. The majority of the time I want to emphasize that I mean what I am saying, I use "seriously" to convey it.

I'll even broaden this discussion to include phrases as well.

People notice a large use of certain words in many of reviews. The main ones being "really" and "fairly", although I've tried to break that habit now that it has been pointed out.

I am indeed addicted to a certain word.

Indeed.

However, I have forgotten what this word could be. Someday I'll remember it and then I'll look back on this thread and say: "I did indeed forget that I was addicted to the word. How silly of me."

I use the words "shazam" and "huzza" a lot.
Oh, yes, one of my friends use to say "huzza" all the time. It is a word that I used a lot too during the summers he would have 360 game nights at his house.

I'm addicted to the German verb "schlafen". It means "to sleep". I just love the way it sounds.

I would ask did you watch a lot of Stargate SG-1? It is a word that Teal'c uses all the time.

I actually got addicted to "epic" for awhile. I had to make a conscious effort to stop saying it.

You and everyone else in my hometown got addicted to that word. My cousin seems to be addicted to it too. Everytime he says epic I stare at him until he says "opps, I meant awesome/great/anything else". Got to nip the habit in the bud.

I did not watch very much Stargate. I do indeed like the show, even though I haven't seen much of it.

I got addicted to "AAAARG!" when I was a kid and read and watched a lot of Garfield.

My word is actually a phrase, oddly enough.


ADDICTION WORD: Oddly Enough
Welcome to the Escapist. I find it odd that this is the first thread that you commented in. I am honored.
