I exhale when under stress and say "ne?" instead of "right?" I don't even know what "ne" means.

Always when I respond to a question I start by saying "va" Swedish for "what?", and I say this even if I heard perfectly well what the person was asking me.

I go 'umm' when I'm nervous

And I twitch anytime I hear that god-awful Swedish accent
What is so bad about Swedish accent?

When somebody says something that I don't necessarily agree with, I tend to use a "Maybe should/will." response, said slowly and drawn out as though I were responding to somebody who asked me "If you love so much, why don't you marry it?".

Example:

Person: Hey, your hair is dirty. You should take a shower.

Me: Maaabye I will...

Oh, "parasite words"... I use something like "well... you know... shit, you know, what I'm talking about..." If I lose the line of conversation. And in this moment, iside my skull is absolute silence... So, even in the end of this "well... you know..." I can't remember, what I wanted to say. It seems, I'm not a conversationalist.
My friends sometimes use "sort of", "kind of" and "in short" without the end.

Mine is awkwardly long silences.

If I don't use them, then I end up blurting out mal-formed sentences and mispronounce words horribly.

But if you're talking about a word, methinks it'd be 'uhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm'.

read enders game, it doesn't sound as bad as you think. It actually makes sense, I use it alot.

Mine is, I shit you not, "eat you". I manage to work that phrase in to most any conversation. I don't even know why I use it so much, or where I picked it up.

"Uh", "you know" and "seriously".
I, uh... I say those a lot. I just can't help it, you know?
Seriously.

"Its like *insert metaphor here*"
I do this all the time because i often feel like i didnt describe something properly and i have to us an example to clear it up.

I say 'right' 'you know' 'okay?' all the time, but always in a foreign accent...

I also say 'What?' wheneve somebody asks me something, even if I heard them perfectly well, so it's:

"Can you tell me what the capital of North Korea is?"
"What? Pyongyang."

I really can't think of one. Generally these things get pointed out to you but I haven't been told I say anything a lot, by anyone. I guess I just don't have one? Weird.
