That's been a phrase I've been saying alot this past week..whether it's been said sarcastically, humorously, or lightly.
How about you guys? Any words or phrases which you've been finding yourself using frequently lately?
I don't mean words like "Okay" or "the", or any of the other words commonly used in conversation every day. Think back, there's most likely something very original to you there..said often ^_^

Some pet phrase thingy? It is not good because they usually don't mean anything. They are just as bad as pause fillers like ok, whatever, etc. :P

*smiles* I didn't say they meant anything and I also didn't say they've stuck around with someone forever.
Pause fillers can either be awkward, painful, or amusing..depending on how one handles them lol. I'll often say something really random like "OMG! Those orange bananas are stealing your underpants!" To break the silence.
I dislike "okay" and "whatever" they're terrible..they save people from actually thinking up a nice thought-out response..I despise them when they do that. *glares at them*

I tend to use "just so you know..." either to start or end a topic, I have no idea where it started or how I started using it, I think I actually picked it up from my niece, but then who knows, maybe she picked it up from me?
There are two others I use a lot, usually when I do something with out thinking I will say, "since my hair got darker, I have more blonde moments"
Or when I encounter something that makes no sense.
example woman won't accept a free second hand washing machine, which can be cleaned if she is that concerned by using hot water and bleach with out clothes in it, I do this with my own washer. No she said she has no idea what was in that machine, so she won't accept the FREE second hand washer, instead she will just go to the laundromat....
Oh yeah cause they put in brand new ones every time someone uses them right? [yes that is sarcasm]
At moments like this when I hear something that doesn't make sense like that woman, I respond with "what do I know, I am just a dumb blonde"

"Have a lovely day" instead of "nice" or "good" is one of the ones I tend to be known for at work. I don't know why I say it that way, but I do.
Another one that I say a lot is "Thank you for your patience" when people really haven't been patient at all. It tends to get me some interesting looks, and often it even gets apologies. =)
