I have now become hyper-aware of how often I use that phrase
Are there any phrases that people have told you you overuse or are characteristic of how you talk?

i worked a summer gig at an outdoor camp as sort of a small unit supervisor. basically a department of 1 (me) that occasionally college interns would rotate through. to my credit, they told me by the midpoint that my setup was best because i was "chill". anyway, at the end of the summer, a group of the stoner guys started doing impressions of me, to me, and universally they all included me becoming reservedly annoyed/exasperated at something (like a broken piece of equipment, or some high level boss barking pointless orders sharply before 7am) and muttering "blow me" quietly to myself. or when relating a story and characterizing my own lack of enthusiasm about whatever was happening.
"So then they said, 'The job pays $8 an hour.' and I was like, 'Blow me.'"
they also all imitated my style of speech which involves really exaggerating, slowing the word "blow".
that was over a decade ago so i am pretty sure i've shifted off that consciously, but for a while it was kinda wack how often i would say it. even to myself while reading something annoying. they all thought it was hysterical, but i definitely made some changes.
