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".
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.
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.
Perkins, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
Zenkitty, I do too. And, "you rock".
Speaking of overused words/phrases, how am I just now listening to Cee-lo's "Fuck You" for the first time?? I need to listen to this ALL THE TIME.
DUDE!Joe JUST played it for me!!
