In this thread we identify words/phrases we use way too much.

[wubb]

What are some words/phrases/whatever you use way too much in your writing on CAG?

For me it'd be

'Personally'
'/'


I sometimes find myself reading over a post just before or after I submit it and find half the sentences start with 'Personally,'

[Dead of Knight]

fuck

[PKRipp3r]

fuck
^

[captainfrizo]

fuck

QFT.

Hey, there's another one.

[Purple Flames]

"So I thought to myself...."

"...but you knew that already."

"Fuck"

That first one especially bodes true when I post and speak IRL.

[Demolition Man]

Wangmote
Wangmotion
Wangathon
Wangvision
Wangthang

[Maklershed]

It's not a word or phrase but I overuse " ...... " entirely to much

For some reason ... I cant stop doing it. And it's spilled over into my work emails. So I should probably get a tighter leash on that.

By the way Wubb, no more "In/Outs" or match games?

[crazytalkx]

$$$$ers

Just kidding har har har.

[fart_bubble]

I use pretty a lot like "pretty much", "pretty sweet", "pretty fucking cool". You know, shit like that and just a good old fuck.

[thespillcanvas]

"In my opinion" Same deal as Wubb's use of 'Personally'.
"Pretty sweet"
"Fuck"
"Dude"

[GrimNecroWizard]

Shit
Owned
Cry

[help1]

emo
OTT
gay

[sying]

Thread of the year. FTW!!! In before the lock.

[dastly75]

any sarcastic retort that people think will make them look 'witty'

[Gauss]

I personally say "lol" to much, and currently trying to cut down on that.

[KingDox]

This deal sucks.

[wubb]

By the way Wubb, no more "In/Outs" or match games?

Yeah, I could probably try to do another sheep (match game) here at some point. Of course anyone that wants to try running one for them self is welcome to it and can give the little program I created to score them a try if they want.

[GuilewasNK]

Ott

[2poor]

Facetious :D

[GuilewasNK]

Facetious :D

That's a quality word right there. :)

[rajchakrabarti]

word

[DJ K8E]

I don't know about on here, but I definitely say...

"I don't know"
"I found that funny"
"Cool

Too much in real life.

[6669]

I've been told I use "like" a lot.
In the free mags thread, I use "in a while", like whenever someone asks about a certain magazine.

[Roufuss]

QFT.

Hey, there's another one.

Use this instead -

IBTN.

I Believe This News.

[Stoneage]

Isn't there some sort of program that could tell us what each of our most used words are? Of course, "the", "a", "an", "monkey", etc. would be near the top, but it would be interesting to see. For a few minutes, anyway.

I have no idea what my most used word is. There was a time when it was probably "update" or something of that sort.

[Graystone]

However, cause, speak of, and a few more that are eluding me right now.

[Strell]

"Strell is awesome" or the more popular "Strell is fucking awesome."

I just can't get people to stop saying that.

[6669]

"Strell is awesome" or the more popular "Strell is fucking awesome."

I just can't get people to stop saying that.
:lol:
Strell is like awesome!

[Strell]

I forgot to add "Strell is a hot slut."

That's a good one. All those t sounds so close together.

[Apossum]

"I dunno"
"If I remember correctly"

because I have a bad memory and I'm picky about remembering everything correctly!

[Zenithian Legend]

You son of a bitch!

[mscott62]

people said that i say "that's what she said" and "so is your face" too much. so i try not to do it any more. when people are around.

[godhatesjustyou]

"Totally"
and
"Cool"

[SOSTrooper]

old.

[jeffreyjrose]

Stellar.

[suko_32]

"Thanks"
"Yeah,"
"Well,"

[keithp]

Use this instead -

IBTN.

I Believe This News.

Looks like umm, In Before The News?...

It's not used except in reviews pretty much, but I hate it when I read or hear "worth the price of admission". Stupid phrase!

[The Crotch]

Mine?

Fuck. Son of a bitch. God dammit. Motherfucker. Fuckberries. I want to have Strell's Zerglings. Shit. Christ. Jesus Christ. (For) Fuck's sake(s). I have no godly idea...

[AlbinoNinja]

Meh
...
Personally
In my opinion
The
Fuck
Honestly

[Moxio]

Balla!

[Demolition Man]

I forgot to add "Strell is a hot slut."

That's a good one. All those t sounds so close together.

"Strell Loves Wang!"

[SneakyPenguin]

"Good times"
"Not good times"
"We who are about to die, salute you"
"One last run old man"
"Highlander don't like coke"
"Fuck this noise"
"Oh yes, there will be (blank)"

And curses in general.

[Sleepkyng]

dank.
loquacious.

[Kayden]

"...Awe balls..."

Someone was being slow today, and I called him slugnuts... I think I like that.

[TheBlueWizard]

I happen to live in New Hampshire (imported from Iowa) and all of the idiots that live here say "wicked" all the time.

Its really fucking annoying. Its wicked cold. That game is wicked hard. The Patriots suck wicked bad. The Red Sox are wicked annoying.

My personal favorite....the rubbish smells wicked bad. The first time I heard someone say that, I was thinking to myself "what the fuck was that?"

One girl who sits near me at work is the prime offender with regard to overuse of the word wicked, but she's really (see I didn't have to use wicked here) nice so I let it slide. Everyone else, needs to learn a new fucking word.

TBW

PS I say fuck too much. And "That's no bueno".

[Mr Eff]

"Tremendous!"
"the bee's knees"
"Well...ain't that some shit?"

Also, I overuse ellipses to the point of madness. I guess I'm a fan of ambiguity. Or maybe I just can't be bothered to finish my own thoughts. Whatever!

[PlumeNoir]

Hmmmm...

Well, those are my two biggest offenders: "Hmmmm" and the ellipses.

A close third would probably be "WHy do I always forget Deadofknight is female?" - but I probably don't type that as often as I think it. I swear, I don't know why it is only with her, but I turn into the cat from Memento whenever she says something that refers to her gender.

[twiztidgear]

"fair enough..."

I also have noticed that I can stop using "..." all the time. In emails, at work, text messages...all over the place.

[boo]

dick
strip
apple

[Thongsy]

Online: Fool and meh
In real life: I used to say dude a lot, not so much anymore, and now I just cuss quietly to myself where before I wouldn't say any kind of swear word.

[GuilewasNK]

In general...

Hotlanta.

Whoever came up with that should be forced to *edit*

[guinaevere]

Actually

Hotlanta.

Whoever came up with that should be forced to <snip>I agree completely. Even before moving down here, I thought that was the dumbest sounding title.

[The Crotch]

Tool is another one that I overuse. Thanks to that god-damned Penny Arcade, I now catch myself saying toolbox. Lord help me...

[hohez]

This thread is aids.

This monstrous bitch of a woman I used to work with used to use the term hateful in just about every god damn sentence. Now whenever I hear someone use it, i imagine them dying to a pack of coyotes.

On a side note, yesterday I was tired and trying saying "From Scratch," to a friend, and it came out "From the Scratch." So now that seems to be my latest mouth-typo that is creeping it's way into my real vocabulary.

[GuilewasNK]

Actually

I agree completely. Even before moving down here, I thought that was the dumbest sounding title.

Sorry about my "creative" language. I normally don't get like that.

[guinaevere]

Guile, you're a gentleman.
