What's your verbal crutch?

[Fellwarden]

I use "uuhmm.." a lot. About every second sentence, unless I'm talking about something I'm really interested in. I also swear too much, but I'm trying to cut back..

 

[Hexenwolf]

I just make up random gibberish and noises to fill the space where I can't quite think of what to say. Much more interesting than "uh..." though it tends to grab a few looks from anyone that isn't used to hanging out with me.

 

[Magnalian]

I use "zeg maar" a lot (in Dutch). Sometimes twice in a single sentence. Usually I don't even notice it, but when I pay attention to it I feel like a retard because I really say it constantly.

Not entirely sure how I'd accurately translate its meaning in English...

'you know' should do the trick, you know.

Not really.

Het is zeg maar net iets anders, weet je.

Wiktionary translates it as

Idiom
zeg maar

let's say
like (as particle)
in other words
Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zeg_maar"

This is more accurate.

Egh, accuracy is for people who care about it.

 

[Blue22]

I throw in "Dewde" or "Man" which makes me sound like a hippie, lawl.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

"..." I make massive long pauses when I speak. I also overuse literally, basically, allegedly, amongst, whilst and many other verbal manouverings.

 

[Connosaurus Rex]

Random noises that are barely audible, not just the normal uh and what.

 

[Whelp]

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

It means you are a closet weeaboo.

That.

A what?

Don't even joke about that. I've seen those people.

Sorry but saying "ne" instead of "right?" is a big red flag. It's practically a direct translation.

 

[Tekyro]

I stutter occasionally, I quite often say "lol" instead of or while laughing, and pretty much whenever I'm describing something, I'll start with " 's like, uhh..."

I didn't know that. Is there still time to correct for this, or am I doomed to being downgraded to 4chan?

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

"Bordel à culs" hahaha i liked it alot when i was told my grandfather used to use it...

 

[teacupthesauceror]

I use the words Bitchin, Balderwash, and Mioliscious far more than any normal man should.

You are either a complete tosser or the most awesome man (woman? dawg?) alive. Pray tell me which?

 

[Rahheemme]

I say "like" a lot when I'm explaining something and "fuck" a lot when I'm with my friends.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I need to stop saying "at the end of the day" and "I turned around and said"
THEY MAKE NO SENSE.

 

[frank220]

i say "essentially" all the time, its a pain in everyone's ass in my circle of friends essentially

 

[Muffinthraka]

I sometimes say "What what what", which is wierd cos my great aunt is the only other person I know to say it. I must have picked it up from her, I can't stop myself doing it, I say it then think why?

I also say the same sorta thing three times like "Cool cheers thanks".

 

[bigolbear]

I have a slight tendancy to growl quietly at people under my breath if there realy annoying me or if im realy stressed, also my voice tends to get rather gravely. Other than that im fairly eloquent. If any thing my main conversational fault is i dont know when to shut up. My dad has a saying about me:

Tha can talk all day and tha's said nowt when tha's done.

 

[Gruthar]

Well basically I actually essentially use the preceding words a lot. And 'though'.

 

[DayDark]

mine is "nice", I keep answering with that.

 

[ShadowWolf93]

My most frequently incorporated adjective is 'awesome'. Anything at all that I like is usually depicted using this superlative. I also have a tendency to use some common American colloquialisms when speaking, despite the fact that I'm British. OH, and I recently picked up 'deffo' from one of my friends -_-. I'm currently trying to remove that one from my vocabulary.

I just remembered this one also affects me (I've just been attempting to persuade my friend to give Gears of War a chance), my voice tends to go high-pitched, David Tennant style, when I get very excited.
