Hmm. Other people would probably pick up on them. Maybe "really." I use "cool" a lot, too.

Definitely.

A word I'd like to use more often is resplendent.

I am a big fan of the TV series Leverage. One of the characters favorite words is "Seriously?" I have made that my favorite word. When I get really mad, I say "seriously"

"Sorry" ~ That's a word that I say WAY too often. Today, alone, I apologized more than 10 times to completely different people in unrelated incidents. Sheesh.

"Pretty much", "also", "with regards to", "of course", "obviously", "so", "currently".

I've noticed at work lately that I say "no problem" too often. People come to me to fix a problem or initiate something for them and I say "No problem!" It's accurate and I'm trying to encourage them to utilize me but maybe some "I can do that for you" needs to be peppered in.

"Awesome".....I got bored with good & fantastic so I started using awesome & it stuck......but maybe because life is AWESOME after what I lived with for 54 years....definitely better than just good or even fantastic.

"No" - and that really bothers me. I use "anyways" a great deal too.

My ex H used "whatever" & " I don't know" constantly. My skin still crawls every time I hear those words. Luckily my anger has subsided over the 9 years after I finally left him.

"Brilliant" and "Indeed" pop out of my mouth frequently.

Probably awesome. xD I curse more than I'd like as well, but I don't think it's excessive, ... anymore.

"Really". I would love to eliminate that one from my vocabulary completely. I'm certain friends could inform me of other over-used words, but that one stands out in my mind.
