What is a word you overuse?
What's one (or more) word(s) you overuse?
I definitely go through phases 😅 Lately it's "especially" — I can't seem to keep it out of my posts!
Or if you'd prefer: what's a word you have a habit of using incorrectly?
This is fun!
In my language, I use the word "Sko" a lot.
The thing about that word is that it doesn't
have any meaning in other languages,
but it's often used to make emphasis on what's being said.
In English, I tend to use the word "but" a lot,
but (😂) that's because it's used a lot in the Icelandic language.
Those who chat with me or see my post do see that I use the
word "wonderful" a lot. That's because I find that word to be absolutely
wonderfully beautiful 💙

@AnnaSilverberg
intriguing!! how does sko get used in a sentence?
@AnnaSilverberg
and is "but" used in the same context as in English? 👀
but we just overuse it 😂
I always have to actively think:
"Is the use of the word "but" something I can skip here?"
Like, it could have been skipped in the second line 😂😂

@AnnaSilverberg
Grammatically, you couldn't have skipped it in the second line without it sounding weird lol
I'm glad to know that.
Thank you for pointing it out to me
✨💙✨

Hi! How are you?
For me, during these couple of month, it would be 'indeed'
I don't know why.. I just seem to like it😄
It has quite all the means of confirmation in one word. 😅
@daydreammemories
it's just so fun to say too!!
@Heather225
These are phrases and words
My honest reaction: 😚🤭
Nuh uh
What the sigma
wtf?
How cute! (this is usually sarcastic)
@Innovarefy sarcastic unless your saying it to me😁 then I know you mean it😎❤
@Heather225
"Literally".
It is NEVER literally. XD
@jesusredeemedme2425

@Heather225
Just
I'm taking this writing course and I noticed *just* how much I use this word in my sentences.
@JollyRacher
argggh, me too. i am trying to reduce my use of that one too, but it's (just) so hard 😂
@Heather225
I definitely use "and" a lot. and also "having a bad day" 😵
This was an interesting prompt to reflect on. Thanks for sharing.
@sky2Ocean20
i am wishing you good days to outweigh the bad and hopefully the phrase drops off the overused list 🌻
@sky2Ocean20
Why "and"? That's one of the most common words lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
I remember to add something after finishing a sentence that's why I guess. 😃
@Heather225
Let's see:
I say "So, Hap-py Derby" in place of "any-way"
"Jaysus"
"That's adorable"
"Rightio"
"Suck an elf" - (Reference to the thirteenth kingdom)
"Buen provecho queridas!" (When I feed my guinea pigs, it's Spanish for something like "Bon Appetit, dears.")
"Rosie Rosie Roo Roo, make the crowd go Woo! Woo!" (How I often greet my dog, with actual cheering motions)
@Torean
You sound like an EPICALLY FUN person XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Heheh, if you think that's fun, you should hear my creative driving swears. 🤭
@Heather225
Words I say often:
"Like" (hey, I grew up in the 80's!)
"Jiminy Cricket" (instead of swearing in front of kids)
"Umm"
"Mount'n (instead of mountain, not sure why but I've noticed a lot of other people drop the ending also)
@NotAllHere713
i managed to drop "like" for years and it's recently crept back into my vocabulary 😭😂
@NotAllHere713
Doesn't everyone pronounce mountain like that? lol
@Heather225
Lately it's "bro" 🤣
@trueconfidant123
Mine is "bruh" XD
