It bugs me when people start a sentence with . . . “Basically” .
On the telly and radio especially, when anyone is asked a question they nearly always start the reply with ’ Basically.’

Another one is instead of saying Hello, or even Hi when they meet someone, people say ‘Hey’ instead, and the other person replies with a ‘Hey’ too.

What about “to be honest“? Or “in my humble opinion“?
Pure rhetorics.

“Having said that”…

Whoever they are talking to most probably heard them correctly the first time, and know now that a “but…” is coming soon. :smiley:

I tend to say or write “but…still…” and then trail off to nothing. I have no idea how to explain what it means, it just leaves the sentence hanging, but its something we in the west of scotland do a lot. Or we end a sentence with “but” as in:

“Are you still coming round to mine, but”
“Aye, we’ll go for a drink, but”
:joy:
