when people over use words or phrases

im talking just as bad as ashes "madwerd"

there was this guy at work the other day, who came in and taught us about power outages and such (im in training right now for the call centre at bc hydro)

anyways....there he was blabbing on about electricity....and i didnt really notice anything....but i was wondering why the guy behind me (jeff) kept laughing.

so at our first break jeff happened to mention that the presenter dude was saying "what not" a lot...about 20 times already...

so after the break thats all any of us could notice...so a couple of people starting taking a tally of how many times he said this

7.5 hours later he managed to use "what not" 153 times.

it was so hard by the end of the class to even keep a straight face

at the same time it was bloody annoying

Well, y'know, uh, it's just that, uh, most of us don't, uh, have access to a thesaurus, and, uh, y'know, it gets a bit, uh, difficult when we, uh, attempt to speak more, uh, elequently, y'know eh?

I get my "word of the month" and over use it horribly. But oh well.

At least I'm not like this guy I met who always started his sentences with "Where by..." and ends with "and such"
I wanted to kick him in the teeth.

^ its funny when the "where by" is used and it doesnt make sense in the sentance.

that would be a kick in the teeth right there.

GO BACK TO ENGLISH SCHOOL!

Yeah, it sucks when someone's a meme assassin but they don't realize when they've killed it.
