Do you use crutch words a lot? If someone paid you a cent everytime you said "like" or "know what i'm sayin'" or "um," would you have enough money to never have to work ever again?

I know I would.

I really gotta stop it though.

Like is mine for sure. My English teacher is trying to break everyone in my class from using it so much. It's hilarious.

I voted um, but I also say yeah a lot. I'm like "UMMM blah blah blah, but yeah." That's basically how all my sentences go.

I also say like a lot... I'll be like(haha), "like like like like" when I'm trying to say something but can't think of the words.

When I talk normally, I use crutch words. But when I have to do a speech for class, I can speak really really well.

Here is why: My teacher would take off a point everytime you said a crutch word. I stopped using them really quickly.

For some other people however...the results were not cool.

I say "yeah" and "like" a lot. But I voted "like" because that one I probably say more frequently.

I have this one friend who says "you know?" after almost every word. It drives me crazy, you know?

I'm not allowed to post it for fear of being banned, but it's four letters and rhymes with muck.

I say "eh" a lot. But most of the time if I get stuck in a sentence, instead of saying "um", I just keep repeating the last word I said until I remember what the next word is . For instance, this happened today. "Yeah, I don't know if those...those...those...those....(bloody hell, are they called?)...those..LEAN POCKETS go in the ... the....the...(someone says 'microwave?')..the MICROWAVE! Yeah! In the microwave for two minutes or three...Yeah".

Yeah, and so I guess I say 'yeah' a lot too. Haha.

i will, like, vote after posting this, for sure. I dunno, darn gosh.

I say "i dunno" alot. I also say "poo" alot. Like, when Saeed threw my coke across the playground to another guy, who dropped it, and the coke spilled everywhere i said: "ach, Saeed... you actual *thinks of good word* poo (laughs from mates)".

hmmm, yeah.
I'll vote "other", cus I really can't think and haven't analyised my speech (yet)
