There are certain words that people say or mutter that just drive me batty. I am no public speaker at all, the very idea of speaking in front of people completely freaks me out and spoken words just are not my friends.
But with that said there are certain words that people say in spoken form that just drive me nuts and want me to say where did you learn to speak? Really?

4 Simple Words That Need To Stop Now
You Know
Watching a news program and they are asking them what happened or some other simple question, yes they are asking them a question. Fill them in. Well, it went this way, you know. No, we don’t know. Stop saying you know every two seconds while telling us a story. We do not know. Stop it! Tell your story, pause and go on. Don’t feel the need to stop and say you know as you collect yourself.
Or ever have a conversation with a person and you are sitting there talking normal. All of the sudden after every couple of sentences they are saying you know. ugh. No. Just stop. You know?? haha See what I did there?
Like
Again. Simply telling us something that happened. Or just your average daily run down. And the person is going like this happened and like I didn’t like it. Why the need for like after these simple words? What do them mean? Like do you even know?
I am good with telling me you like strawberries. You like to take long walks on the beach. Those likes make total sense. But when you are placing it in where it doesn’t even make sense, like, don’t do it. Okay?
Uhm
I hear this all the time. All the freaking time. Especially with what are supposed to be well-spoken people. They have a pause in their speech, instead of just staying silent for a moment and letting them compose something they say uhm, uhm. Just stop it already. It doesn’t sound professional at all.
I get even these type of people sometimes don’t do well making speeches, I get that. But someone needs to get a handle on these uhms.
That’s what she said
This older phrase just grates on my every single nerve when people say it anymore. It was funny at first, but now, it’s just way overused and annoying. Just wipe it from your mind and move on. Please.
It’s no longer funny and way passed it’s time of funny.
What are some words or phrases that you think people just need to stop using or rather use at the right context? I can’t wait to hear yours!
