Overly Used and Abused Words/Phrases.

I am proposing a challenge to me and my (so far) one follower:

Make a list of words or phrases you say far too often. It can be any length.

Go a certain period of time (a week, day, month, year? I haven't decided. Tell me what you think.) without saying any of the words on the list.

I guess I'm doing this to expand my vocabulary. And maybe it'll help me sound less dumb.

I've always also thought that saying words too often makes them lose or change their meaning, and people who use those words often sound stupid. To put it bluntly.

Here's my list:

1. irritating (this one was because I always thought people say "annoying" too much and that "annoying" was annoying. And now I say "irritating" too much.

2. Oh well. (I'm always sighing and constantly saying this.)

3. Sigh. (See 2.)

4. I dunno.

5. Whatever.

6. Sorry. (This really should be number one. I have apologized to everything, from a table to a person who wasn't there.)

7. Hrm. (Or erm. or hmmm. or er.)

8. whoops

That's all I can think of for now. And I realize my list is different than most other people's. I say strange things.
