With all due respect, "anyhoo" is a childhood staple I haven't given up yet.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sister has started saying, "quite honestly" a lot. It's especially annoying because she uses the same tone and cadence every time, and sounds sort of aggrieved and righteous about whatever's quite honestly ticking her off, which is very unlike her.
"Anyhoodle"?!
Now I'm paranoid that I have some annoying verbal tic I'm unaware of. I'll be policing my words for a while until I find it and kill it. I wonder if I have different tics in writing than in speaking.
Lots of people I like say "anywho". I've come to accept this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
To be honest, I kind of use anyhoo often.
The thing that makes me cringe (not that you are) in retrospect were all the little verbal affectations that I used to have about saying goodbye.
It's a wonder I wasn't stabbed in the face during the adolescent phase where I wished people a hostile banana. (Instead of "hasta mañana.")

My brother mutters "God damn you" when people sneeze just to hear them say "thank you".

Compassionately intolerant
A friend helped me to realize that I was going through a phase of telling everyone, "You ROCK." I just felt I was being appreciative. He pointed that it make me look like a moron. I stopped it.

(My sharing my hatred of "anywho" with The Boy has led to him using it as much as possible, to see how long it takes me to go insane. Evil.)
Does he not realize he'll be the one at Ground Zero when you snap?

"Awesome". That's it. I say "awesome" too much. I sound like a surfer dude.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a problem in that when I saw "Awesome!" I think of Dean Winchester and when I say "Whut?" I think of Gurton Buster. So, me? I'm amused.
To onlookers I probably look really simple.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Perkins, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
Zenkitty, I do too. And, "you rock".
