Words people use too much
« on: December 08, 2001, 08:46:35 AM »
Just listen to someone talk, preferrably a teenager and count how many times they use the word \'like\'.  Its funny how some people will say "I like went to the mall yesterday to like get a new t-shirt" "I went to the mall yesterday to get a new t-shirt".  I was in class the other day and this girl said like probably every other word.

Like, i know man.  But another word im very sick of hearing in marketing is Orbit.

What is it about this word?  Orbitz chewing gum, Orbitz travel, Orbitz fruit juice.  Its just gettig a little to freaky for me.

I saw a TLC special once that said something to the effect that using "like" is actually a precise way to do something gramatical, I don\'t remember, but it\'s not a bad thing.

My pet peeve:

"It\'s a _______ thing."

ex:  It\'s a guy thing.  It\'s a black thing.  It\'s a California thing.

Also, never call a Honda S 2000 a "Stook." :)

Yes.. We were having a discussion about this in my class earlier this week. We have this new student from China and he\'s starting to say "like" so many times now because of another student saying words like "like", "dude", etc.. lol

You know Silicon Knights?  The guys making games like Eternal Darkness and Too Human for Gamecube?

Well I got an interview with the president of SK, Denis Dyack, and it\'s 70 minutes long.

He\'d be talking and say something like, "Yea we had a hard time deciding if it was right to delay the game just to bring it to Gamecube, but at the end of the day, it was definitely worth it."

And in that 70 minutes he must have said "at the end of the day" a dozen times.

Definitely one of the more unusual phrases to be hooked on.

"You know what I\'m saying?"

I hate that.

You know what I\'m saying? ;)
