Stop! Don’t Use These Words by Bernard Marr

“At the end of the day” – What does that even mean? Does it mean later? Just leave it out!
“To be honest” – Why, are you normally not honest with me? What a crazy thing to say!
“If you know what I mean” – If I don’t know what you mean I would probably tell you. I don’t need a prompt.
“You know” – Is this a question or a statement?
“Having said that” – Yes, you have just said that. I was here, you have been speaking to me and I don’t need you to tell me that you have just said something to me!
“Like” – This is especially annoying if it is inserted a number of times into every single sentence. Why, oh, why?
“Literally” – Should mean ‘figuratively’ or exactly as you say. It makes so sense to ‘literally explode’ or to ‘literally die’.
“I am just saying’” – Yes, I have heard it. Should this make me feel better about the fact that you have just offended me or said something that didn’t make sense?
“Seriously” – Are you saying that you are telling me the truth or are you using it as a replacement for ‘yeah’ – I am, like, seriously confused!
“I mean” – Some people litter this phrase into every single sentence they say. It must be one of the most meaningless phrases of all.
