Quite a few;

literally

if one repeats this in 5 seconds in a conversation.

like

not against saying like, but when is used in "describing" you will be judged.

obvi

ugh, I just hate this.

legit

When I hear legit, all I see is insecurities. DO YOUR RESEARCH, TRUST YOUR GUTS.

And yes, I'm millennial.

Wait, so you just hate similes?

Ohh I see you're missing out on the fun side of "legit" Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says "legit"

Also isn't it some kind of skateboard term from the 90's? "Broooo that 720 was legiiit 🤙"

"Like" is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it's just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like

You feel me?

[–] 0_0j@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

smh, I dont!

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

so you're fine using 'like' as, like, a pause word, but not in similes?
