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?

    Say "slide note" instead and pull out a slide whistle and oooOOOOOP with it.

    I say "I've probably mentioned this before" a lot because I am always forgetting if I have already told you something.

          Unironically people should repeat their anecdotes often. The same story might grow stale for oneself after hearing it a few times, nevertheless repeating an anecdote builds memory of it and can serve as a bonding activity if done well. I wish more anecdotes from my grandparents were written down.
