When does she find out the test results?
ita, she found out that day. She passed. And she already knew the things she was no good at!
Undoubtedly my verbal tics make you all crazy. Like msbelle, I'm sure they are present in my posts. Probably not as irksome as the content of the posts themselves, though.
My favorite verbal tic is to say, "And yet...." whenever a student wants to negotiate with me. The conversations look like this:
Student: "I think my grade should be higher because I did these things you said to do..."
Me: "And yet..."
t insert shrug
It's very satisfying.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's not a verbal tic, that's a parry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.
Share?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She passed.
Cool! Shiny new belt!
I'd like to think I have no verbal tic past a couple fillers. I did spend too much time at a few previous jobs saying "Good luck with that!" and "How did that work out for you?" but that was more attitude than tic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't think of any annoying verbal tics that I have. Unless it's my tendency to randomly tell people to go fuck themselves.
But really, I can't think of any.

Wait, I know! I've been told I'm highly annoying when I talk to cats. But only non-cat-people have told me this.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I have plenty of peeves.
My dad has even more. What really sucks is that he gets very angry and enforces those peeves before you even know what it is you've done. Had a moment like that with him today. My eyes started welling up with tears because I realized that this is flashing me back to my childhood and never knowing what it was I was doing "wrong" that was going to get me smacked.
