Smock. I think it has to do with being under the influence of "Calvin and Hobbes," one of my favorite comics of all time. Hobbes, the tiger, said he liked the word "smock" and said it over and over. I was reading the strip out loud to my oldest, who was three at the time (he's now 16!), and he just giggled and giggled as I read it. So the word "smock" has a special place in my heart. Perhaps when I die, they'll just put "Smock, Smock, Smock" on my headstone.

"Whatever" is my favourite word I am guessing. I tend to say it a lot. I have annoyed quite a few people at times because I say it too much. I don't even notice when I continuely say it. I wonder why that word bugs people so much??

I've noticed I have been using the word 'quite' a lot lately. I'm not sure why, but since I incorporate it into my conversation so much, I must be 'quite' fond of it.

I love saying the word Bella, it means beautiful in Italian. I love the way it sounds, I think I say the word to much. and Its pretty when you say Ciao Bella, that means Hello Beautiful, witch is one of my fav songs by the Jonas Brothers!

I don't have a verbal habit. I don't use the same word all the time. Words have meaning only in sentences. A word might sound nice until we get its meaning. I like the sound of many words, but not their meaning. However there is a phrase I reat mostly: NOTHING SURPRISES ME NOWADAYS is this phrase.
