Fetch meet totes. And what does totes mean? Honestly, I had zero idea when it was introduced into my vernacular but it's a word I sadly overuse a lot in my daily conversation: totally.
Totes = totally
Let's practice using it in a sentence.
Old way: Let's totally go to the movies this weekend. I would like to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
New way: Let's totes go to the movies this weekend. I would like to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
This might seem odd, but I am guilty of overusing a handful of the same words. It's the nature of what I do, the overused words that you put in your writing and conversations. A girl in the office and I even joked (sadly) about how to have a conversation without the marketing-speak. We tried to but fell into hitting key messages without thinking!
So below is a list of words/acronyms that I use way to much on a daily basis:
- FYI
- BTW
- Regarding
- Best
- f/u
- like
- um (which suddenly I've noticed everyone uses)
- it's like....
- you know?
So, um, like, do you guys have any words that you overuse, like I do, you know?
I overuse "Awesome"
