OP Are there any words or phrases you regularly hear yourself using in your everyday speech that you wish you could weed out?
I catch myself using the following ones too often and wish I could successfully get rid of 'em:
particularly
especially
inordinantly
goofball
knucklehead
Munchkins (gotta stop using that!)
_______________Land (I name all kinds of concepts Something-or-Other-Land: TechnoLand, La-La-Land, ElementaryLand, and so on. I'm sick of hearing myself do so.)
pristine
crytalline
ethereal
orchestral (and I'll bet my friends are sick of me talking about orchestral this and that, too!)
...and a lot of others that just keep me from thinking.
Do you have words and phrases you'd like to kick out for a while so some others could work their way into your EverydaySpeechLand? (See how stupid that sounds!? And it is!)
Bugaboo regards,
WW
